Usability Testing

A usability test delivers information about how well users get along with a website or where there are problems. Usability tests are very important but fortunately neither particularly intricate nor expensive.

You'll immediately understand the importance of usability tests once you've seen users interact with a new website.

A usability test does not need to be intricate and expensive. Experience shows that already a small number of test candidates is enough. In most cases all important insights are at hand already after three to five test persons.

It is advisable to test at an early stage so the gained insights can flow directly into the project. Thus high expenses for subsequent modifications are avoided. In early project phases where nothing has been programmed yet a usability test can be conducted using by so called paper prototyping.

Bigger projects should be usability tested more than once. Most of the time you need even fewer test persons for subsequent tests than for the first one. In any case the functionality of the finished website has to be tested, e.g. a shop inclusively its ordering procedure.

For a running website a good user tracking can give further information for optimizing usability.
