Usability Testing: Your System Works, But Can Your Customers Use It?
Your team works hard to write code, but the user experience you offer determines your system’s success or failure. Your user interface must speak both logically and intuitively to users. There’s no substitute for usability testing: having an experienced UX test technician verify the interface operation, check that each control does what is expected, and ensure all elements of the UI are in a location and format the typical user expects.
Interface Design and Usability Testing
User testing of your interface requires a precision verification process, alongside functionality testing. QualityLogic examines:
- Congruence – Does the control do what a reasonable user would expect?
- Appearance – Is the appearance consistent with the control’s function, for example, red for stop rather than green?
- Accuracy – Do control labels reflect the function they actually perform?
- Flow – Are controls laid out in an order that flows logically over the screen?
- Consistency – Is a feature’s control always represented with the same appearance throughout the system?
Things are going well. This has been a smooth process and we’re pleased with the thorough nature of the review!
