-# Usability Testing Methods
-
-## Overview
-
-Usability testing is a method of evaluating a product by testing it with representative users. It helps identify usability problems, gather qualitative and quantitative data, and determine user satisfaction.
-
-## Testing Goals
-
-### Identify Issues
-- Usability problems
-- Confusion points
-- Error-prone areas
-- Friction points
-- Pain points
-
-### Validate Designs
-- Test assumptions
-- Validate concepts
-- Measure success
-- Confirm solutions
-- Verify improvements
-
-### Gather Insights
-- User behavior
-- User preferences
-- User needs
-- User expectations
-- User feedback
-
-## Testing Methods
-
-### Moderated Testing
-- Facilitator present
-- Real-time guidance
-- Immediate follow-up
-- Rich insights
-- Controlled environment
-
-**Best For:**
-- In-depth understanding
-- Complex tasks
-- Detailed feedback
-- Problem exploration
-- Qualitative insights
-
-### Unmoderated Testing
-- No facilitator
-- Natural behavior
-- Remote testing
-- Scalable
-- Cost-effective
-
-**Best For:**
-- Large sample sizes
-- Simple tasks
-- Quantitative data
-- Remote users
-- Quick feedback
-
-### Remote Testing
-- Geographic flexibility
-- Cost-effective
-- Natural environment
-- Larger samples
-- Convenient
-
-**Best For:**
-- Distributed users
-- Cost constraints
-- Natural settings
-- Large samples
-- Quick turnaround
-
-### In-Person Testing
-- Direct observation
-- Rich context
-- Immediate feedback
-- Controlled environment
-- Detailed insights
-
-**Best For:**
-- Complex products
-- In-depth analysis
-- Detailed observation
-- Rich feedback
-- Controlled conditions
-
-## Testing Process
-
-### 1. Planning
-- Define objectives
-- Identify tasks
-- Recruit participants
-- Prepare materials
-- Set up environment
-
-### 2. Preparation
-- Create test script
-- Prepare prototype
-- Set up equipment
-- Test technology
-- Brief team
-
-### 3. Conducting
-- Welcome participant
-- Explain process
-- Give tasks
-- Observe behavior
-- Take notes
-
-### 4. Analysis
-- Review recordings
-- Analyze data
-- Identify issues
-- Prioritize problems
-- Document findings
-
-### 5. Reporting
-- Summarize findings
-- Present insights
-- Recommend solutions
-- Share results
-- Plan next steps
-
-## Task Design
-
-### Effective Tasks
-- Realistic scenarios
-- Clear objectives
-- Specific goals
-- User-centered
-- Measurable outcomes
-
-### Task Types
-- Find information
-- Complete forms
-- Make purchases
-- Navigate site
-- Perform actions
-
-### Best Practices
-- Use user language
-- Avoid leading
-- Be specific
-- Realistic scenarios
-- Clear success criteria
-
-## Metrics
-
-### Quantitative Metrics
-- Task success rate
-- Time on task
-- Error rate
-- Click count
-- Completion rate
-
-### Qualitative Metrics
-- User satisfaction
-- Ease of use
-- User preferences
-- Frustration levels
-- User comments
-
-## Common Issues to Test
-
-### Navigation
-- Find information
-- Navigate site
-- Understand structure
-- Locate features
-- Move between pages
-
-### Forms
-- Complete forms
-- Understand fields
-- Handle errors
-- Submit successfully
-- Recover from mistakes
-
-### Content
-- Understand content
-- Find information
-- Read and comprehend
-- Use help resources
-- Follow instructions
-
-### Interactions
-- Use features
-- Understand controls
-- Complete actions
-- Handle feedback
-- Recover from errors
-
-## Testing Best Practices
-
-### 1. Test Early and Often
-- Don't wait for perfection
-- Test early concepts
-- Iterate based on results
-- Continuous testing
-- Regular validation
-
-### 2. Use Real Users
-- Target audience
-- Representative users
-- Appropriate screening
-- Diverse participants
-- Realistic scenarios
-
-### 3. Focus on Tasks
-- Real user tasks
-- Specific goals
-- Measurable outcomes
-- User-centered
-- Realistic scenarios
-
-### 4. Observe, Don't Lead
-- Let users explore
-- Don't give hints
-- Observe behavior
-- Ask open questions
-- Minimal interference
-
-### 5. Document Everything
-- Record sessions
-- Take detailed notes
-- Capture quotes
-- Document issues
-- Track metrics
-
-## Analysis and Reporting
-
-### Issue Identification
-- List all problems
-- Categorize issues
-- Rate severity
-- Identify patterns
-- Prioritize fixes
-
-### Severity Ratings
-- Critical: Blocks users
-- High: Significant impact
-- Medium: Moderate impact
-- Low: Minor impact
-
-### Recommendations
-- Specific solutions
-- Prioritized actions
-- Design changes
-- Implementation guidance
-- Next steps
-
-## Tools and Resources
-
-### Testing Tools
-- UserTesting
-- Lookback
-- Maze
-- Hotjar
-- Optimal Workshop
-
-### Recording Tools
-- Screen recording
-- Audio recording
-- Video recording

-- Missing early feedback
-- Expensive changes
-- Hard to fix
-- Poor outcomes
-
-### 2. Wrong Participants
-- Not target users
-- Inappropriate screening
-- Too few participants
-- Unrepresentative
-- Biased results
-
-### 3. Leading Users
-- Giving hints
-- Interfering too much
-- Influencing behavior
