Usability Test

Usability Tests (AKA User Experience Tests) can be carried out as soon as there is an at least partially functional prototype. We test either individual functions or the intuitive usability of the entire prototype, and observe the participants while they interact directly with the product. This method allows for very precise conclusions about possible problems and possibilities for optimization in the system through said observation and the posing of targeted questions.

Nice to know:

Since the users interact with the system themselves, it is easy for them to imagine what it would be like to work with the final product. They thus provide better and more detailed feedback than during other tests. Usability Tests are implemented particularly well as the next iteration after previous rounds of validations and improvements to the prototype.
