Our experts observe, interview, and record between five to seven actual users, as they perform real tasks using your application, web site, or prototype. These tests can be conducted at your site using our unique mobile lab solution, or at our state-of-the-art Northern California Usability Lab. We capture video, including each user's facial expressions and comments, using a direct feed from the monitor. The process allows your developers to see real users working with your product or prototype. Your team members may observe the tests live or view the digital video highlights included in our Usability Testing Report.

Our Usability Testing Report is an HTML deliverable that:

  • Identifies usability challenges encountered by users
  • Illustrates challenges using video highlights from the tests that are linked directly to the report
  • Ranks challenges according to their severity
  • Provides informed design solutions

Classic System Solutions can also help you identify and recruit test participants, design a test plan, and create prototypes for testing.

Classic System Solutions gives you two state-of-the-art approaches for testing the usability of your project with real users: our cutting-edge
Northern California Usability Lab and our incredible Mobile Lab.
