To gain accurate, ethical, and actionable insights about your product, usability best practices are critical. Keeping these in mind will ensure you collect meaningful data to guide your decision-making.

If testing is not controlled, there is a risk that participants will be negatively impacted and your results – not to mention the final product – will be compromised. Consider what your main goals are, how best to collect data (+ potential negative impacts), and what principles will guide your research activities.

In this video, we explore the five best practices you need to consider when planning, conducting, and analyzing usability testing so you can conduct ethical and successful research sessions.

Hosted by Hilary, Education Lead @ Maze, this video is part of our series on all things usability testing.
