Ever tapped through an app and thought, who tested this?
That’s where usability testing comes in — one of the most practical and powerful methods in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and UX design.

In this episode of HCI Explained, we unpack the essentials of usability testing:

• What it is and why it matters

• Step-by-step process: setting goals, recruiting users, creating tasks, running sessions, and analyzing insights

• Best practices: test early and often, stay neutral, and keep it simple

• Common mistakes: leading participants, testing with too few users, or ignoring real-world context

• Examples in action: from apps to dashboards to VR headsets

💡 Usability testing helps us design products that are more intuitive, accessible, and enjoyable. And here’s the good news: it’s not just for big companies — anyone building an interface can do it.

👉 Tune in to learn how usability testing can transform the way you design and experience technology.
