I've been doing a lot of research into usability testing recently and I think this is the best video I have come across. Not only is it packed with great tips but it is very encouraging. Great job!
Great introduction! To make sure that participants are comfortable saying what they REALLY THINK, I tell them to do just that:
- "You're not going to hurt my feelings, so please be as critical as you can".
You are really good at explaining things and making them simple to understand. Thanks. Well done. :)
This is incredibly helpful and somewhat encouraging. Thank you!
This was very informative! Thank you Rob!
Wow this is amazing video. Very informative and breaking down the daunting task of usability testing
Other's feedback is definitely important in the usability testing phase before moving forward. Usability testing really helps finding out what problems potential users would encounter before the product is completed. This is great!
Amazing video! Very insightful, thank you!
Great video! I have a UX testing project recently and wanna do some research to recap what I have learned in the uni, this is the best I have found and all the stuff mentioned here are so valuable!
This is incredibly helpful Rob !!! Thanks a lot for sharing this knowledge and for all the motivation. 100 likes :)
Very informative. Much appreciated.
Glad you thought so! Are there any other topics you'd like to see discussed more?
Very informative! Thank you!
"Getting real people to use your product...and getting honest feedback" - Great tips and suggestions for getting started. Thanks!
Thank you so much for you comment! Usability testing is so crucial, glad you enjoyed the video :)
For someone who will conduct his first usability test tomorrow this is super helpful, thanks a lot man for the excel explanation.
Hi Ahmed, how did your first usability test go?
@@KTLifestyle 9 months later I left the company 😂
@@aelsir Oh nooo, what happened?
I must say you can establish a rapport for sure. And Matt Bomer looks a lot like you. Cheers!
This is very helpful for beginners who want to make some IT products.
Thank You for this video
You're very welcome!
Thanks a lot for this video 👏
Thank you so much
Good stuff
very nice
Supe great, then you referred Steve Krugs book, which we are using ! He will know about you in a few minutes because I said I didn’t like his Usability test video, then I got a little eccentric about it! Oh no! He is a guru? Man…..
If you are testing an app, do you usually have them download the app on their own device or allow them to use yours? Also does anyone have any suggestions on how to go about this during social distancing?
Thought you might be interested to know that Independence University linked me to your video!
How do you determine proper number of user for usability testing?
What about response bias?
What is that?
KT Lifestyle There’s many different aspects, but a very common one is when respondents try to answer in a way that they think will make you happy because you did something nice for them. It goes back to reciprocity.
@@dorito818 That is true. Does telling them something like "this is not my product, so don't feel like you're hurting my feelings if you say something is bad. Just give your honest opinion." help with decreasing this bias?
KT Lifestyle It’s funny that you mention that. My UX professor would tell us to say that, it should help, but I don’t have a solid number for the % decrease.
Some interviewers ask things that have nothing to do with what they’re researching to throw off participants that way they don’t know what you’re looking for thus hopefully giving you more honest responses. Then at the very end you tell them what you were looking for during your debrief.
@@dorito818 That's what I was thinking as well. I think adding some extra tasks or questions will help with throwing off the participant for sure. Really great insight, thank you for your replies!

This has nothing to do with the topic, but what is your MBTI profile? I'm just curious. It is for professional purposes. Lol Tks
