Benefits of usability testing
There are many advantages of usability testing beyond the benefits of other testing methods. Internal pre-production, unit tests or alpha testing can help you identify technical issues or bugs, but conducting user testing with real users will provide you with much more qualitative feedback. This can include:- Comments on user experience from real users directly to the development team
- Resolution of internal debates about usability issues
- Identification of unforeseen usability problems ahead of launch
- Reduced risk of product failure through experimentation
