Frequently Asked Questions

What is feature usability testing?

Usability testing is the process of testing your product with real people by getting them to complete a list of tasks while observing and noting their interactions. With feature usability testing, the same principles apply but rather than testing your product as a whole, the focus is on a specific feature to learn what improvements might be needed.

Why is information architecture important in UX?

Information architecture is incredibly important to your product—poorly categorized or labelled information can affect your product’s usability, lead to customer frustrations, and cause low adoption rates of certain features.

Testing whether your information architecture makes sense is therefore beneficial to both your users and your organization as a whole.
