What happens during a test?
Test scenarios are defined based on predetermined objectives, which may be qualitative and/or quantitative. A moderator asks the participant to perform the specific tasks. Each individual interview session is recorded. Collected data is compiled and analyzed to evaluate the objectives and reveal usability issues.
When to use:
User testing can be performed at any time:
- During the interface design process

What you get:
Usability test results in a detailed report of observations (quantitative and/or qualitative), usability recommendations and strategic recommendations.
