Simulation test
Description: Simulation is a technique that creates a situation and environment, which allows end-users to experience a representation of a real event in a risk-free environment. Predefined simulation scenario defines a particular set of conditions to resemble authentic situations in a location where a simulation experience takes place to test and to gain understanding of tested solution and related human interactions. After simulation event, facilitators and end-users re-examine the simulation experience, and various aspects of the completed simulation are discussed.
R&D service categories: Testing and validation
Key characteristics in living lab context
- Mainly for ICT solutions
- Simulation labs, smart home that simulate real-life home/specific scenarios to simulate real space
Objectives:
- simulate real-life situations and behavior but lower cost,
- identify improvement suggestions and usability test,
- provides development recommendations based on user/patient/customer experience and needs,
- identify key measures to investigate in follow-up tests
Methods: Simulation test, virtual reality (VR), usage scenarios, interview, debriefing, observation, survey, wizard of oz, sensors, usage logs, hospital ward, interactive patient mannequin, usage scenarios,
Tools: audio recording, video recording
