Abstract
About half of the methods presented in Chapters 8–12 are based on lab sessions with users or subjects. This chapter supports those method presentations and the concrete usability method plans based on them, by describing how to deal with subjects before, during and after lab sessions. Note that lab sessions include supervised sessions that are exported to take place outside the lab in, e.g. a car or a museum. Some of the issues to be described are relevant also to usability methods that are not lab sessions in any sense, which is why so many method descriptions in the previous five chapters refer to the present chapter.
