How to conduct a successful test
Customer requirements, interests, and habits change at a fast pace. You must observe these changes as soon as possible and improve your product accordingly to create excellent Customer Experience (CX) and Improve User Experience (UX). The best way to know and understand about these requirements and changes is to run the tests as quickly and efficiently as possible, which is achievable by considering the following:
1. Begin by creating the structure of the final report for the test so that all you have to do after finishing it is collecting the results and include them in the report. This enables you to double-check tasks and questions to verify they produce the desired results.
2. Don't depend completely on verbal client feedback. Simple test tasks should conclude in a multiple-choice or rating question. As a result, retrieving important notes and comments is much easier, and you may do so in less time without compromising quality.
3. Try not to have more than three goals for one test. If there are more than three goals, the test will take longer, and the quality of the test will go down. Remember that short tests are better than long ones, but that doesn't mean you should ask certain questions about requirements, behaviors, and opinions just so you can use the responses for something else later. As you do more tests, you'll get more information that will help you figure out what people think, feel, and want. This is a better way to get information than to do a big, broad study all at once.
4. Data from testing 3-5 participants can provide insight into particular topics or trends. If you find that you require additional information, you can always add more participants later. You can predict what you could get with a larger number of participants if you start with as few as three participants and watch their whole recordings.
5. You can focus on asking a few exploratory questions, maybe 3-5, or on one very relatively short task. This method provides faster results, but it more indicates actual behaviors.
