Usability Test Template


Describe the task(s) you wish to test:
Reflect on your user’s goals and key activities. For example, a goal of the user may be to do more bench
presses every week. Can they use your dashboard to:
1. See if they are improving each week;
2. See how much they are improving each week;
3. See how close they are to achieving their goal.

Read this introductory script to your test participant:

Hello {​ Name of the participant}​, thank you for coming. My name is ​{your name}​ and I’m the designer of
this health and wellness dashboard. I’m going to walk you through the session today.

Before we’ll start I have some information for you.

We’re currently testing this product to learn as much as we can about the way people use it. Every product
is intended to work in a certain way by its creators, but as you know – the reality might be quite different.
The goal of this research is to get us as close to the reality as possible.

The session will take about an hour.

Please remember, during the next hour, that we’re testing this product, and not you. Don’t worry at all
about mistakes. If they happen, it’s the fault of the product. ​Finding about it is absolutely fantastic and
gets us closer to creating a great product.

During the whole test, please try to think out loud. ​Share anything that’s in your head. Tell me what you
are looking at on the screen, what your thoughts are, what you like and what don’t you like, et cetera. We
want to learn about your honest reactions to this health and wellness dashboard.

Do you have any questions before we begin?

Usability test questions:

Walk me through how you would use this dashboard to ​[describe task]​.

Probes:

- What design element gave you that answer?
- How did you decide to do that?
