What is Usability Testing?
Usability testing is a crucial step in designing products, websites, apps, or services that users find easy, effective, and enjoyable. It’s a research method used to observe real users as they interact with your product, helping to identify usability issues, understand user behavior, and make informed improvements to enhance the user experience.
