Usability Testing

The purpose of usability testing is to understand how real people will use the product. It's important to make sure that the interface is easy to navigate and that basic tasks are performed with ease, otherwise users will abandon and head to a competitor's website.

The primary purpose of a usability test is to gather feedback from real people on what they are experiencing using your website. It aims to identify issues that you need to fix as well as points of confusion for your users.

Type Of Usability Testing

Some types of usability testing include:

Card Sorting

Often used for navigation or to organize information, card sorting puts items on the site into groups so users can easily find the information they’re looking for. It also helps determine what users are doing on your site, and whether or not they are finding the information they need.

In-Person Testing

This form of usability testing is run by a number of observers in an open environment such as a conference room. They will be observing everyone and asking questions to gather insights to improve the usability of the product or service being tested. Observers will be asking questions to gather insights to improve the usability of the product or service being tested.

Remote Testing

In remote testing, users will be asked to complete a series of tasks while being observed by an unseen moderator. This kind of user testing can be done either with a moderator (using webinar or conference call technology) or as an independently self-guided test.

A/B Testing

A/B testing is a type of testing that doesn't involve simulated experiences or observation. In A/B testing, companies split their traffic into two groups and test two versions of an e-commerce site. They collect data to analyze which variation of the site had a higher conversion rate.
