Pluralistic Walkthrough

A group usability inspection method, introduced by Randolph Bias in 1994, in which users, developers, and usability specialists step through a task scenario together, each writing down the actions they would take at every screen before discussing as a group. It extends the cognitive walkthrough by including real or representative users in the review, making it useful for surfacing accessibility issues that designers alone would miss. In accessibility practice, pluralistic walkthroughs can include participants with disabilities to uncover barriers early in the design cycle.
