Usability Testing

What is Usability Testing?

Usability testing is a method of evaluating the way users experience your system, product or web site.

What are the Benefits of Usability Testing?

People who are involved in the design of a service, product or application, or involved in the business associated with it, are too close to it to see any potential problems.

Advantages of Usability Testing

• Testing is cost effective - testing on just five users typically uncovers 85% of issues
• You don’t need fancy equipment or a lab
• You can test remotely, so people can use their own computers or mobiles
• You can test on wireframes or early stage designs
• Testing with just one user is likely to reveal something that you need to fix urgently
