What are some best practices for performing usability tests?
There are lots of things to keep in mind when usability testing, but here are some of the most important ones:
1. Establish evaluation criteria. Decide in advance what you think success should look for your product. Then establish a clear way of tracking this in your notes or studies.
2. Get consent. You should get consent both at the beginning of your usability test and again at the end. At the beginning, ask for their consent to record the test and the results. At the end, ask for consent to keep the test results and use the data. It's important to ask twice because a participant only has a loose idea of what they are consenting to in the beginning.
3. Be inclusive. It’s important to gather different perspectives on your product by including people of different abilities, demographics, usage behaviors, etc. Being intentional and inclusive in your testing audience will help you build better products because you will learn from people who are different than you and who see and do things that you do not.
4. Be mindful of length. Keep it short and sweet when it comes to designing your usability test. Your users are giving their own time to help provide insights for your product, so it’s in your best interest to not exhaust them and skew the results by asking too much. If you worry that your usability test is too long, gather feedback from a colleague.
5. Run a pilot test. Before taking your usability test out into the wild, test with somebody within your organization (and ideally not on your team). Not only can this person identify areas that may be missing from your test, they can also perform quality assurance on copy to make sure everything is clear to your users.
