Usability best practices are vital to gathering accurate, ethical, actionable insights about your product—keeping these in mind will ensure you gather effective data, to inform your decision-making.
If testing goes unchecked, you risk negatively impacting participants, and influencing your results—not to mention, the final product. Consider what your main goals are, how best to gather data (+ any potential negative implications), and what principles will guide your research activities.
In this video, we’ll explore the 5 best practices you need to keep in mind when planning, running, and analyzing usability tests, so you can go on to run ethical and successful research sessions.
Hosted by Hilary, Education Lead @ Maze, this video is part of our series exploring all-things usability testing.
