User Research and Usability Testing

How do you know, what emotions do end-users have when exploring your website or software? Are they excited about the simplicity of your solution or are they dissatisfied because of feeling stupid for being unable to understand seemingly simple things? Or, maybe they just hate it all because they have to use it? Of course, you can ask them about it, but most likely they will tell you a lie... Not many would like to appear stupid-looking or show off their anger.

There is also another way, you could peep at them.

Peeping at User

With Usability Studio, you could peep at user's behavior and mimics while he is using your website or software (of course, upon the user's consent).

It's simple. You launch Usability Studio and your website or your application, sit the person to be tested at the computer and have him or her try to complete your assignments.

While the assignments are carried out, Usability Studio records:

  • All what's taking place on the computer's screen.
  • User's emotions and mimics.
  • Tested user's voice.

The only thing you'd have to do after running such test is to watch the recorded video and draw conclusions, which of the solutions is perfect, and which one is overcomplicated.

Managing and Saving

Usability Studio allows creating any number of projects and any number of tests for each project.

Projects and Tests

That would be especially helpful to web studios and freelancers servicing multiple customers. All your tests will be stored in a single location, and you won't have to ransack the hard drive in search for a necessary file. In the future, such library would help you locate the necessary solution quicker and thus save your time and money.

Watching and Drawing Conclusions

The advantages of recording tests on video over running regular tests are obvious: you can watch the results multiple times, rewind or pause the recording.

On a video, you can see what's going on the screen and the user's mimics simultaneously. That significantly eases the spotting of overcomplicated and unclear moments in using your product.

Download it, try it, buy it, and make your websites and software convenient and friendly to users.
