Usability Testing
We offer comprehensive support for all your usability testing requirements, including test planning in compliance with standards, participant recruitment, skilled moderation of test sessions (an art in its own right), and meticulous documentation.
Formative Tests
Usability testing doesn't have to be a long or costly process! We perform quick, small sample prototype testing to get input from your users as early as possible in the design process.
Our usability specialists will help you align the test goals to the different product development phases and needs, prepare the required documentation and moderate the session while documenting relevant user reactions and behaviors. A test report containing the findings and key insights will be generated, and the resulting recommendations will serve as inputs for refining the product design.
