The UX Five-Second Rules

The five-second rules are a set of guidelines designed to assist researchers who wish to use the method to test their designs. They are written with an emphasis on the opportunities and limitations afforded by the providers of online tools but are also applicable for moderated test sessions. The guidelines address the viability of the method for specific types of research inquiries, as well as how to properly design, structure, and execute different test formats. Specific strategies are provided for creating the different test components, including the instructions given to participants, images that are shown, and questions that participants are asked to answer.
