At GC Digital, we champion user-first design. UX testing ensures that the product is not just aesthetically pleasing, but functional, intuitive, and aligned with user needs.
Here’s why UX testing is crucial:
Reduces guesswork: Decisions are backed by real data, not assumptions.
Boosts user satisfaction: You can identify and fix pain points early.
Increases conversions: A smooth user journey leads to better business outcomes.
Saves time and money: Catching issues early prevents expensive fixes post-launch.
Start with clarity. What do you want to learn? Examples might include:
Pick a testing approach based on your goal, budget, and timeline. For example:
Recruit participants that closely resemble your real users. Consider:
Pro tip from GC Digital: Even five participants can uncover 85% of usability problems.
Design realistic tasks based on what users would actually do. Avoid leading language. Instead of “Find the support page,” say “You need help with a billing issue—what would you do?”
Make sure each task:
Whether remote or in-person, ensure consistency. If moderated, the facilitator should observe without leading. Ask open-ended questions like:
Use screen-recording tools to capture clicks, time on task, and errors. Note emotional reactions—frustration, delight, confusion.
After testing, sift through the data:
Look for:
Tools like Optimal Workshop, Dovetail, and Hotjar can help organize and interpret your findings.
Turn insights into action. Prioritize fixes based on:
Work with your design and development teams to roll out improvements—and don’t forget to test again. UX testing is iterative, not one-and-done.
At GC Digital, we recently revamped an e-commerce platform for a retail client. Through moderated usability testing, we discovered that users were struggling to apply discount codes during checkout.
The solution? A simple redesign of the promo code field—making it more visible and placing it earlier in the process. The result: a 21% increase in completed checkouts within two weeks.
That’s the power of UX testing—small changes, big impact.
UX testing isn’t just about fixing problems—it’s about creating experiences that feel effortless, enjoyable, and effective.
At GC Digital, we believe great design starts and ends with the user. By incorporating UX testing into your design process, you’re not just improving usability—you’re building digital experiences that people genuinely want to use.
Whether you’re designing a mobile app, a SaaS dashboard, or a full-scale eCommerce platform, don’t guess. Test. Learn. Improve. Repeat.
