User Testing vs Usability Testing

I have already explained what UX Research is in one of my previous videos. Today we will focus on two of its most important methodologies: User Testing and Usability Testing.

Usability testing is a method of testing the functionality of a website, app, or other digital product by observing real users as they attempt to complete tasks through it. The users are usually observed by UX researchers, but most of the time that role would be assigned to the person directly responsible for the design, AKA - you.

Are you using external services to conduct user testing, or you organize them by yourself? Or maybe you don't test anything? If so - let me know how it looks for you in the comments.

As a video editor, the "swiping" sounds are annoying because it's too many of them, and because a lot of them are too early or too late based on the on-screen animations

[JonneytheKidd]

Everything he was describing was excellent and on point, but all the animation going on back and forth and out of sorts, made it confusing to follow his points.

I think you need to specify the source of the information that states "90% of all startups fail" and other statements

Hmmmm, I rate this video

excellent

[valerieherbert]

The video is confusing, I can't get over the swiping sound and the fast visual changes. I didn't learn anything at the end😢

[gabrie]

great video. Where are you from? how did you make the animations for this video?

[athenabozak]

Great video thank you! I was confused a bit with one thing. When explaining my method to my clients, can I say I used explorative research or would I say qualitative? Are these two basically the same? And is comparative research the same as A/B testing?
