Introduction

From UX Salon Hello, everyone! I’m thrilled to share my experience from a special session I conducted on October 22, 2022. As a 27-year-old Digital Product Designer from Egypt, with a rich background working at Stars and Stories and previously at WakeCap, I led a session titled “Usability Test from Planning to Analysis in Designing Digital Products” at UX Salon. My journey from graphic design through front-end development to product design has been filled with learnings that I was eager to share.

Overview of the Session

This session was an in-depth exploration of usability testing in digital product design. We covered everything from what usability testing is to advanced techniques in its execution and analysis. The aim was to provide a holistic understanding of this essential process in product design, ensuring products are not only visually appealing but also user-friendly.

Key Topics Covered

Our journey began with understanding the essence of usability testing and its application in various stages of product development. We delved into:

  • The definition and importance of usability testing.
  • The right time to apply these tests.
  • Measuring and interpreting results.
  • Practical steps for preparing, executing, and analyzing usability tests.
  • A special focus on Customer Journey Map Usability Testing.
  • Real-world case studies, including an activity for the Talabat app and a case study from my work on the Cartona app.

Engaging the Audience

Learning is a two-way street, so audience engagement was a core part of our session. Participants formed small groups, taking on roles of an observer, interviewer, and tester. This hands-on approach helped in understanding the nuances of usability testing in a real-world setting.
