Day 34: Usability Testing

We are testing the product, not the user.

Today, I learned about conducting usability tests for websites using Useberry. I also learned tips to approach usability tests for content, which are:

  1. Find the right participants.

  2. Create tasks based on the area of interest.

  3. Pose follow-up questions.

Tips for Usability Testing

  1. It is critical to establish rapport.

  2. Begin with first impressions.

  3. Prioritize simple tasks over complex ones.

  4. For websites, run a blink test.
