    user-testing

    WHY 20 TESTERS?

    The magic number for usability testing is 5 testers. A group of 5 testers is sufficient to reveal the primary bugs and major usability problems of any interactive experience. A larger crowd will of course help reveal hidden issues. But 5 testers will ensure you identify the biggest priorities you should focus on.

    Still, Why 20?

    With the 3-week testing package, we aim to not only conduct comprehensive usability testing but also to gauge the resonance of the app’s value proposition with your target marget. We identify 4 larger segments of your target personas — differentiated by interest, demographics or other important criteria for you. This way we are able to capture usability testing from all 4 segments, as well as receive versatile and subjective feedback.

    Benefits

    WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

    RECEIVE BRUTAL HONESTY

    This is the pure advantage of a 3rd party evaluation. Since we have not built the product, testers don’t care about being nice to us. They may not have the same level of comfort with a founder sitting in the same room with them. We break through the psychological barrier of “niceness” and capture candid feedback from users.

    AMPLIFY YOUR APP’S TRUE VALUE PROPOSITION

    We are also able ot reveal strengths about your app that may spark lights about your true value proposition. Help you communicate the advantage and the way it’s perceived by people who will “love it”. Sometimes it reveals strengths that you didn’t even know how to pronounce yourself. Your genius tagline may come from a test user’s description of your product.

    SAVE TIME AND RESOURCES

    From sourcing test users to setting up equipment and environment and finally going through all the feedback can be a huge bottleneck. This is exactly why most companies avoid conducting user tests. It’s another project to take away from limited resources. Our process saves tons of time without disrupting your internal team’s focus, but also potentially saves tons of time from building unnecessary features or going in the wrong direction with a marketing campaign.
