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.
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.
