Ask HN: How do you perform Usability testing?

• gargarplex 10y ago
  1) Post a craigslist ad 2) Offer to pay $5 for an email reply or $20+ for an in person visit (raise bounty by $10 every day you don't get a reply) 3) Read "Don't Make Me Think" by Steve Krug. He provides a play by play HOWTO and a script you can use. 4) Actually act on the feedback you get

  In production. With paying clients. It's the only way to be sure.

    Any process @ pre-delivery stage ?

      The only 100% way to be sure is with customers. That said, UX/UI design patterns are pretty well understood, your best bet is to hire out to a firm if you have no UX people on staff. https://www.usertesting.com/plans https://www.usertesting.com/plans

  Find a newbie, stand behind them, and watch them struggle to use your program. Don't help them at all.
