Best for

  • Determining the right prototype fidelity (paper vs wireframe vs high-fi) for specific research questions
  • Writing task scenarios and test scripts for moderated usability testing sessions
  • Executing RITE methodology rapid iteration testing cycles with design teams
  • Analyzing think-aloud protocol data to identify usability issues and design improvements
  • Planning guerrilla testing sessions with realistic participant recruitment and success metrics

What you'll get

  • Structured test plan with participant screener questions, 5-7 task scenarios written as realistic user goals, and success criteria for each task including completion rates and error types
  • Session facilitation guide with opening script, think-aloud prompting techniques, and post-task interview questions tailored to specific research objectives
  • Analysis framework template for categorizing usability issues by severity, mapping findings to design components, and prioritizing iterations for RITE methodology cycles
Not designed for ↓
  • ×Market research or competitive analysis (focuses on usability, not market validation)
  • ×Visual design critique or aesthetic feedback (tests functionality, not visual appeal)
  • ×A/B testing statistical analysis (qualitative usability testing, not quantitative experiments)
  • ×Production system performance testing (tests prototype interactions, not technical performance)
Expects

Clear research objectives, target user personas, and specific design decisions or user flows that need validation through prototype testing.

Returns

Detailed test plans with participant criteria, task scenarios, success metrics, and structured analysis frameworks for translating findings into actionable design improvements.
