Guide: Design/UX - Testing

Description

👉 This guide is part of the Design/UX Guides. Please follow the order:

  • Fundamentals
  • Interaction
  • Testing

 

When a designer imagines what the user will want and how he/she will act when using their design is very important, because that's where everything starts. But it shouldn't be where it ends because, as it turns out, humans are extremely unpredictable. To counter that, it's necessary to test with the users themselves. There are several tools to help you organize this work, and that's what you'll be exploring in this Guide.
