By the end of this course you can plan a rigorous usability test, moderate it without introducing bias across multiple formats, and turn what you observed into a prioritized, well-reported set of findings that a team actually acts on and later verifies worked.

01How to set testable objectives, recruit with a behavioral screener, write goal-framed task scenarios, script a session, and pilot the full protocol before real participants arrive
02How to choose between moderated, unmoderated, remote, and in-lab formats, and moderate live sessions with the think-aloud protocol while staying neutral under direct questioning
03How to handle difficult participant behaviors, write self-sufficient unmoderated tasks, and prepare a smooth remote technical setup
04How to turn raw observations into findings through affinity mapping, rate severity, separate findings from recommendations, and quantify carefully without false precision
05How to write and present a report that gets read, prioritize fixes by severity against effort, and close the loop with follow-up testing that verifies a fix actually worked
