A set of 12 essential templates, checklists, and scripts for doing usability testing.

Usability testing is a technique used in user-centered interaction design to evaluate a product by testing it on users. This can be seen as an irreplaceable practice, since it gives direct input on how real users use the system. It is more concerned with the design intuitiveness of the product and tested with users who have no prior exposure to it. (“Usability Testing - Wikipedia”)

User research and usability sessions are critical components of the development or marketing process for determining your target audience’s demands and what connects with them. Conducting meaningful sessions involves a significant amount of planning, hypothesizing, and preparation. (“Usability Testing vs. User Acceptance Testing: Understanding the Differences”)

Without a consistent planning approach, you waste time recreating the wheel or risk inconsistency in trials and sessions, making data more difficult to use. Instead, start with our usability testing template to create a consistent procedure that will allow you to spend more time delving into the data.

Planning User Research Sessions Using Our Template

  • Plan out your phases of planning. Before you conduct a session, think about your hypothesis, participant needs, and how you’ll validate both. Begin with our template and then modify it to meet your specific requirements.

  • Sign up participants using a form. Make a simple form that participants may use to determine their eligibility. If you build the form in Tracup, entries will be routed directly to your planning project, allowing you to keep track of your participants and research plan in one spot.

  • Convert your findings into action. After your session, make sure you have a location where you can follow up on action items. You may assign actionable work and monitor patterns over time by tracking, prioritizing, and sharing findings in Tracup, which allows you to assign actionable work and maximize the effect of research sessions.

  • Try out our template for user research findings.
