Usability testing allows veryfing how convenient it is for your user to work with your app or site. Usability testing helps not only improve the user experience of your product, but also enhance business processes at your enterprise by building a positive image of your brand for your users.
The QA team of the XB Software company carries out usability testing on all stages of software development life cycle. Besides, our QA team is ready to undertake usability testing for any project at any stage of development. We test prototypes, websites, web applications, desktop applications, mobile applications, and so forth.
In the course of work XB Software team applies proven methods, namely:
Our team tests the app by imitating user actions and provides a full report on the flaws that have to be removed to provide better user experience.
After we study the project goals, and also functional and nonfunctional requirements to the working out software, we do expert assessment of the app.
The expert assessment includes writing of user stories, analysis of app structure, including architecture and elements of the interface, analysis of navigation, and also analysis of functional compliance.
Doing the usability testing, we pay much attention to the app architecture, intuitive navigation and graphic design.
On customer request, we carry out usability testing with a focus group, providing video reports with comments and recommendations on how to improve the usability of the tested product.
During project assessment our usability professionals are also guided by the heuristics developed by Jakob Nielsen. They allow evaluating app or site interface and point at the major mistakes.in the shortest possible time. The heuristic site assessment is recognized an effective method to measure user experience. Its advantages consist in simplicity and speed of testing as well as price and money ratio.
Below you’ll find 10 heuristics developed Jakob Nilsson, which we put into practice:
