_“We all know that processes or workflows we’re doing here in the US are very different in other areas. There might be different ways that users are using devices in certain countries…and so that’s one of those challenges of performing human factor testing in a real-world environment is being able to prove that these users are a subset or a simulation of what you would be seeing in real life.”_ – Dr. Victoria Barnosky
