What is Usability Testing?
Usability testing is a process where real users interact with your web or mobile application to evaluate how easily and effectively they can navigate and use it. This testing focuses on understanding user behavior, identifying difficulties or confusion during interactions, and ensuring that the app delivers a smooth, intuitive experience. Usability testing is not just about fixing bugs, but about optimizing the user experience to meet real-world needs.
Usability Testing is a systematic process of evaluating a software application by observing real users as they interact with it. This method helps to:
- Identify Usability Issues: Uncover navigation and functionality barriers.
- Improve User Satisfaction: Optimize features to meet user expectations.
- Enhance Accessibility: Ensure your app is user-friendly for diverse audiences.
By focusing on user behavior, Usability Testing provides actionable insights to improve your software’s design and performance.
