\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\tIn recent months we have discovered that we can continue to provide endless solutions for digital issues, even against the backdrop of coronavirus restrictions \u2013 user testing being a very important example of this. At DEPT\u00ae we show that the power of user testing does not depend on the way you do it, but the quality and expertise you provide.\t<\/h2>\n\n\n\t\tThe value of user testing\t<\/h2>\n\n\n\t\tUser testing is a must in the digital age. It is by definition the best way to confirm or reject assumptions about a product, increase efficiency and encourage the ultimate success of a product or service. It ensures that our work matches the wishes and needs of a user as closely as possible.\u00a0\t<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\u201cDesigning solutions for people we don\u2019t know is like developing parts for a machine we\u2019ve never used.\u201d\t<\/p>\n\n\n\t\tAlthough we\u2019re now conducting user testing remotely, all the benefits still stand. On top of that, you save time as a company and the online tools used can help you with automating test reports based on the collected data. From a participant\u2019s perspective, remote user testing is also a lot more relaxed, since it can be done from home and there is no hassle with equipment. Win, win.\u00a0\t<\/p>\n\n\n\t\tOur different methods\t<\/h2>\n\n\n\t\tAt DEPT\u00ae we make user testing possible using multiple different methods. In a nutshell, these are: design validation; proposition testing; and usability testing. Each method has its own advantage, goal and result, which can be perfectly tailored to the product and demand.\t<\/p>\n\n\n\t\tDesign validation\t<\/h2>\n\n\n\t\tThis is a method of user testing to quickly discover what users prefer when it comes to a particular topic. This takes place during the design process and offers the possibility to easily test small design or concept issues. We then provide solid advice based on the results that are processed in a UsabilityHub report.\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t
