Video summary
Maximize the potential of your app with mobile usability testing. This is a reliable method to unearth issues in your design early on, saving both time and resources. First, ensure your testers are familiar with the device in question – this allows for results that truly reflect real-world experiences. Secondly, before launching your test, run a dry pilot study to iron out any complexities and confirm smooth operation. It is crucial to test your app as a prototype before full-scale development. Divide your testing into manageable chunks, focusing on individual modules or flows for better precision. And remember, test frequently and from early stages of the design process.
