Usability Testing Services

Home > Usability Testing

Every interface has to be well-thought-out to provide customers with the best possible user experience, whether they are paying you money for the service or using it for free. The usability of your software solution has a direct impact on customer satisfaction, which, in turn, is one of the main factors influencing the market position of your product and its revenue.

There are many components to a successful software product. Powerful functionality, stable performance, and solid security make a major contribution to a product’s positive reception. However, without good usability, most customers won’t even get to experience those benefits, as they are not going to tolerate a bad UX for too long.

This is exactly what our usability testing service is designed to prevent. As a usability testing company, we will test your product’s UX in detail, pointing out even the most minor issues that can harm its usability and telling you how to strengthen its user reception. We are confident that our usability testing services can benefit a product from any industry and on any scale.

Reasons to choose UX testing services

Meet customer needs
With the help of in-depth usability testing, you get to give your customers what they really want. Learn the specific needs of your users and introduce the necessary changes to your product to attract and retain even more customers.
Validate hypotheses
Ensuring good usability is impossible without regularly suggesting and validating UX hypotheses, but making your end users confirm or debunk these hypotheses takes time and costs a lot of money. This is why a UX testing service is the best way to validate usability assumptions.
Surpass the competition
In a time when there are several competing apps in any field and for any purpose, it’s going to take more than just strong functionality to prove that yours is the superior one. At the same time, a flawless UX can be the one advantage that allows you to get ahead and stay there.
Save money on testing
Timely, all-encompassing usability testing can unlock a lot of issues that would otherwise slow down the testing process, forcing you to retest them and spend more money on UX testing services than you would normally expect.

What can we test?

A good UX is the first step on the way to making your users fall in love with your solution.

Our approach to UX testing services

A usability testing service is carried out in the early stages of software development when designers work along with front-end developers to sketch everything out. Once the interface is done, QA engineers thoroughly test the application and analyze user behavior in order to detect what exactly is wrong or needs to be improved.

This may include lacking functions, or too many functions, glitching interface areas, poor design, etc. If you want to have your software user-friendly, well-functioning, and appealing to your customers — a usability testing service has to be a thing on your checklist.

The TestFort team of experienced QA engineers is keen on flawless results of any testing type. We provide UX testing services for almost two decades and regularly level up our skills, adding any other type of service you may need. Our customer-obsessed approach is the core of our trustworthy collaboration with numerous international clients from different industries. We believe in the transparency of development and testing processes, in cost-effective services, and rapid delivery.

Advantages of usability testing services

Strong UX testing expertise

We have been delivering UX testing services for over two decades, keeping up with the best industry practices and forging our unique approach that ensures maximum efficiency and optimal use of everyone’s resources.
Ultimate flexibility

We understand that our clients may have different needs, operate under different timeframes, and expect different project outcomes. Therefore, each of our clients can expect a highly personalized & perfectly tailored approach.
Wide platform coverage

Your product is going to be used by customers on every device and platform imaginable. This is why we will test it on 250+ desktop and mobile devices to cover every make, model, operating system, and OS version there is.
Cross-domain skillset

Successfully delivering UX testing services is impossible without a deep understanding of the industry and segment where your product is operating. Our comprehensive expertise is demonstrated by our rich portfolio of successful projects.
Real-world conditions

A meticulously curated testing lab environment can benefit many types of QA, but usability testing works best in a real-world setting with real, unbiased users. That’s exactly what we ensure when taking on a new project.
Focus on satisfaction

Our clients being happy with our work is our biggest goal and the best motivation there can be. We will handle your project with care, help you choose the most suitable cooperation model, and seamlessly fit into your processes.

Other types of testing we do

Usability testing services are what we are good at, but they are only a fraction of our QA skill set. We can apply all kinds of manual and automated testing services to ensure the unparalleled stability, functionality, and performance of your product.

Functional testing
An attractive user interface and good UX will attract users in the first place, but they are unlikely to stick around if your application doesn’t do what it promises to do. Functional testing helps you know your app’s functionality is up to the challenge.
Performance testing
When developing a new software solution, it’s important to not only think in the moment, but also plan for the future. We’ll test your product’s ability to handle a large number of requests and identify possible bottlenecks.
Sanity testing
Sanity testing takes place after each new stable build of a product is released to make sure that all its core functionality is present and that the solution is ready to be tested with more precision.

Regression testing
A successful software solution is always a work in progress and there is always another thing or two to improve. Make sure that the recent changes to the code did not negatively affect the existing scope of features or usability.
Compatibility testing
With hundreds of mobile and desktop devices, as well as tablets, and countless versions and varieties of operating systems, testing your product on one or two platforms won’t cut it. Compatibility testing ensures extensive QA of your product on every available platform.
Smoke testing
Like sanity testing, smoke testing deals with the early version of a software build. Unlike sanity testing, which deals with the core functionality of a product, smoke testing deals with the overall stability of the build and demonstrates the solution’s readiness for further stages of testing.

Give your users a 100% positive first impression and make it last.

Usability testing results

Increased customer satisfaction
A regular user may not experience performance problems when using your product outside of peak load hours or never find out that your product is not compatible with some rare 7-year-old smartphone, but they are always going to notice bad usability. Solid usability, on the other hand, makes customer satisfaction skyrocket.
Optimized redesign efforts
Upgrading the design of your solution is a vital step on the way to staying on top of the competition and retaining the loyalty of your customers. With timely usability testing, you will be able to know if the new design actually works before it’s put into production, where it will be more difficult and expensive to correct.
Strong product launch
The launch of a product is a step that can make or break the future of your solution. Smooth user adoption paves the way to further positive reception and growth of a devoted user audience, and good usability plays an essential role in this process. Ensure yours is up to the challenge with UX testing services.
Higher revenue
A successful product is the one that generates revenue for its owner — it’s as simple as that. Solid usability directly impacts the way your users view your product, and the more loyal customers the product has, the higher the revenue is going to be. Therefore, the link between good UX and revenue is clear as day.
