Now that you have set up your UX design<\/a> prototype, it is not time to start testing. So, what does user testing means? In our Step-by-Step Guide to UX Design, we briefly discussed user testing. Today, we will discuss this process more in-depth.

The goal of user testing is to discover problems and gain insights that you can use to improve your final website or product. How do you do this? Well, it can be done by giving a few or more users access to your UX design prototype and studying how they behave when they are using your website or service.

User Testing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Naturally, you cannot expect the testing phase to show and eliminate all potential problems at once. That is simply not possible with just one test. User testing is a continuous phase that you need to constantly work on.

It is a great way to create the best possible experience for your users and audience. Through user testing, you can improve and optimize your website, products, and services better and constantly.

<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As we said, one of the biggest questions when it comes to user testing is \u201cWhat do I test?\u201d To find the answer to this question, you need to spend a little time nailing down exactly why you want to perform a test. You will also need to write down what you hope to learn and achieve from this test. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make this process a lot easier, you can write a clear set of questions to test. Go through the set of questions you have written and prioritize what is more important. This first step will help you in choosing the participants you want to test.

Choosing and Preparing A Test
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now that you have listed down the questions you want to test, your priorities will show itself. Once you know what the purpose of your test is, it is time to decide on a specific methodology you can use. There are a few different techniques and methodologies, so in able to choose the right one, you need to answer a few questions listed below:
