What is Usability Testing?
Usability Testing is a systematic approach to evaluating digital products with real users, providing insights into user behavior, preferences, and pain points. It combines qualitative and quantitative research methods to deliver actionable improvements. Research shows that conducting usability testing early and regularly helps teams identify and fix problems before launch, reducing development costs and improving user satisfaction (Nielsen Norman Group, 2020).

Why Usability Testing Matters
✓ Error Prevention: Usability testing identifies major interface issues before launch, allowing teams to fix problems early and improve overall product quality (Nielsen Norman Group, 2023)
✓ Cost Savings: Detecting and resolving usability issues during development is far more cost-effective than post-launch fixes (Nielsen Norman Group, 2023)
✓ User Satisfaction: Products refined through usability testing lead to better user experiences, higher engagement, and improved satisfaction (Interaction Design Foundation, 2023)
Regular usability testing uncovers user issues before launch, which can reduce costly support requests and improve overall user experience, while companies that skip testing risk higher error rates and customer frustration (Nielsen Norman Group, 2020)
