What is guerilla user testing, and why should I do it?
Martin Belam defined guerilla testing as “the art of pouncing on lone people in cafes and public spaces, and quickly filming them whilst they use a website for a couple of minutes.” While this is an accurate definition, we can expand upon it by using the term to apply to any product produced in service of Wikimedia, at any fidelity.
