How We Do Usability Testing
1
Outlining Goals

We research customer’s needs and goals, create hypotheses & put them into action plan. Based on project’s goals, we choose testing methodology, prepare research tools and equipment.

We carefully select respondents ourselves or using recruiting companies.

2
Testing with Users

We ask respondents to do the tasks we prepared using a product. During testing, we observe users' behavior, pains, comments, and record it all on video.

We test products with users online & offline regardless of the location. If no product is ready, we create a prototype to test.

3
Providing Solutions

Based on what we get during testing, we evaluate product's usability against 7 metrics, create a detailed report with recommendations and low-fidelity wireframes to fix the most crucial issues.

What You Get After Testing
1
Issues List

Detailed report with UX recommendations for each issue we found.

2
Lo-Fi Wireframes

For most urgent UX gaps, we prepare low-fidelity wireframes with solutions.

FAQ: UX Experts on Hold
Do you look at analitic data during Usability Testing?

Yes. If such data are available, our UX experts also analyze product’s GA and Hotjar.

Does Usability Testing work for existing products only?

No, Usability Testing also allows to validate a product idea you have. In that case, we don’t have a working product, but rather use a prototype. If you don’t have a prototype of your own, no worries – our designers can help you out.

Do you have packages for Usability Testing?

No, we don’t have package options for Usability Testing. According to the world’s best practices, Usability Testing should be of limited time and scope regardless of the product’s size. Creating different packages might harm testing quality and results.

How can users provide more effective feedback than experts?

Noone can detect problems in your product better than its actual users. At the same time, Usability Testing is about combining both – user feedback and expert monitoring, analysis, and takeaways.

What to do after Usability Testing?

You bring our detailed UX report and lo-fi wireframes to your in-house design team or partnering design agency. They will pack all the recommendations into updated UI and prepare the tech tasks to pass to developers.
