User testing should be done regularly to understand how users behave with your product, if it’s solving their problems, and where the user experience can be improved.
Scenario testing:
- Give your user a scenario to complete along with a backstory of why they want to complete that action
- Record both the user and the device
- Ask the user to think out loud throughout the process (be critical and honest)
- Have follow up questions prepared
Impression tests:
- Give your user 10 or 15 seconds to see your app/webpage/product
- Ask questions about it?
- What were the things that you noticed first?
- What problem is this product solving?
- Anything that stuck out to you or that you got caught up on?
- Record the user and the device
