Usability testing
Usability testing comes in when I want to observe users going through journeys of existing technology and software that they use in their day to day lives – to do their job or live their lives.
-
This involves watching how users naturally interact with tools and the software that you want to design or redesign, or prototypes that I have made and want to test
-
This can be run on UserZoom, either testing existing software flows or prototypes.
Usability Testing Example Questions
-
How often do they use the product or service?
-
When do they use it?
-
What prompted them to start using it?
-
How long have they been using it?
-
How useful have they found it?
-
Has their day to day work improved as a result of using it?
-
Which parts of it are helpful to them and why?
-
Which parts of the product or service are unhelpful or not good and why?
-
What would they do to change or improve it?
-
Do they have access needs?
I sometimes conduct research interviews and usability testing together in the same sessions
