Mobile Usability Testing Process

Test Planning and Recruitment (Prepare & Recruit)

这是移动可用性测试最重要的阶段，这个阶段需要明确五大问题：为什么测试?在什么环境下进行测试?招募哪些对象进行测试?测试的系统和功能是什么?如何搜集和分析这些数据?对于这些问题，在内部需要讨论并达成一致意见。 Then develop a usability test plan, prepare the relevant material, including the production of test prototypes, writing test tasks and scripts, recruiting participants, setting up test environments, and preparing test tools.

Pre-Test and formal testing (Pilot & test)

Mobile usability testing is influenced by a number of factors, such as equipment, environment, tasks, etc., which can help us to discover the test plan and the possible problems in the preliminary preparation, so as to ensure the smooth conduct of the formal test. In a formal test, designers can be used as observers to easily post the problems that are found in order to quickly discuss the output later.

　Test results Analysis and output (Analyze &)

Mobile usability testing requires a lightweight method for analyzing and outputting test results. If you can paste the convenience of recording problems on the wall, quickly discuss and organize a consensus. Remember, this process is a matter of describing the test discovery, rather than generating a solution. The solution is the next step.

　Product optimization and iteration (improve & Iterate)

The value of mobile usability lies in the improvement and optimization design after discovering the problem. Designers can try to answer the question: How to minimize and simplify optimizations to avoid problems found in tests. Then test to see if the change has other effects
