Testing the design

Usability testing¹Usability testin Usability test is to check whether the design of a product or brand works wellwith the target users. is the most common method used by designer to test their design. The basic idea behind conducting a usability test is to check whether the design of a product or brand works well with the target users.

While carryng out usability testing, two things are being tested for: Whether the design of the product is successful and if is not successful, how can it improved.

This is the main difference between design and art. If you are an artist, you create for yourself first and clients buy your personality in your artwork. If you are a designer, you solve problems. Whose problems? Your customers’.

While designers are testing, they are testing the design and not the user. Also, every design is evolving. The designers carry out usability testing at every stage of the design process.

The target users are given various tasks to perform on the prototypes.

Any issues or problems faced by the users are collected as notes.

UX Deliverables

UX designers’ maim goal is to solve the end-users’ problems, and thus the ability to communicate the design to stakeholders and developers is critical to the ultimate success of the design. Regarding UX specification documents, these requirements depend on the client or the organization involved in designing a product. The four major deliverables are: a title page, an introduction to the feature, wireframes and a version history.

You know, people are always saying, it's almost like a community of writer's block. I always wonder when that happens, because that's not in the book.
