Seamless Prototype Testing for UX Design
Userlytics allows you to conduct prototype testing throughout the user experience design and development process. This includes everything from concept sketches and wireframes, to high fidelity prototypes.
Our detailed study metrics will give you validation of your proof of concept, thus ensuring that you’re on the right track. Or, if you encounter issues with your prototype, these insights can help you resolve any pain points and implement the right changes.
Prototype Testing for UX Design Success
Historically, user testing on website or mobile apps was done in a moderated setting creating a high cost, low scale approach. Because of this, user testing was limited to being done at an early stage or right before product launch.
We have changed the game with a state-of-the-art prototype testing capability. Where you can set up a study in just 5 minutes and receive results within hours, ensuring rapid feedback for efficient design iterations.
Compatibility with Major Prototyping Platforms
The Userlytics platform is compatible with all prototyping platforms including Proto.io, Invision, Figma, Marvel, Axure, JustInMind, UxPin and more.
If your mobile app is at a high fidelity stage and ready for launch in TestFlight or the Google Play equivalent, Userlytics can project manage the entire process
Test at Every Prototype Development Stage
Once you have created your design mockup, you can simply use the URL provided as your destination URL when creating your test, or ask participants to visit more than one URL at different stages in the Test Script. This allows you to make quick iterations to your designs and launch multiple tests at every stage of the product development lifecycle!
Tailored Testing for Your Target Audience
Prototype Testing with your target customer is essential in gaining the results and insights needed to make the right tweaks and changes to your product.
Userlytics provides advanced demographic filters ensuring that your participants are your ideal customer. From country, state, age, household income, education level, social networking sites, and more, you can filter your participants as you please. And we also provide the ability to define or upload behavioral screener questions.
FAQs
What is prototype usability testing?
Prototype usability testing involves evaluating an early version of a product, such as a wireframe or mockup, to identify usability issues before development begins. It allows designers to gather user feedback and iterate quickly to improve the user experience.
What is the difference between prototype and usability testing?
Prototype testing focuses on evaluating early versions of a design, such as wireframes or high-fidelity prototypes, to refine the product. Usability testing, on the other hand, assesses how effectively users interact with the finished product to uncover usability issues and areas for improvement.
How do you test a prototype for usability?
To test a prototype: (1) Create a realistic prototype using tools like Figma, InVision, or Proto.io. (2) Define your test objectives and set up a test script. (3) Recruit target users using demographic filters and screener questions. (4) Ask users to complete specific tasks while observing their interactions and gathering feedback. (5) Analyze the results and make design adjustments based on user insights.
What is the purpose of usability testing a paper prototype?
Usability testing a paper prototype helps identify early design flaws with minimal cost and effort. It allows designers to explore different concepts, get quick feedback, and make improvements before investing in digital prototypes.
What are the steps of prototype usability testing?
The four key steps of prototype testing are: (1) Plan: Define your goals, tasks, and target audience. (2) Create: Develop a prototype using tools like Axure or Adobe XD. (3) Test: Conduct tests with real users to gather feedback. (4) Iterate: Refine the prototype based on insights and repeat the process.
What are some examples of prototype testing?
Prototype testing examples include: * Testing navigation flows in a mobile app prototype. * Evaluating the usability of an e-commerce checkout process in a website prototype. * Gathering feedback on the layout and content of a SaaS dashboard.
What techniques are used to gather user feedback during prototype testing?
Common techniques include: * Think-aloud protocols: Users verbalize their thoughts while interacting with the prototype. * Task analysis: Users complete specific tasks to evaluate the prototype’s functionality. * Surveys: Post-test questionnaires gather additional user insights. * Screen recording and heatmaps: These tools track user interactions for deeper analysis.
What is the value of user testing with prototypes?
Prototype testing helps designers: * Identify usability issues early. * Validate concepts and design decisions. * Save time and development costs by addressing issues before launch. * Deliver a product that meets user expectations.
How can you test a service prototype?
To test a service prototype: (1) Simulate the service experience using role-playing or mock scenarios. (2) Use low-fidelity representations, such as journey maps or storyboards. (3) Gather user feedback through interviews or usability tests. (4) Iterate the service design based on user input.
Why is prototype testing important in design thinking?
Prototype testing is integral to the design thinking process because it fosters innovation by allowing teams to test, learn, and iterate rapidly. It helps ensure the final product meets user needs effectively.
