Easy usability testing tools are available for developers. Usability testing has become more accessible, allowing developers to conduct tests efficiently and gain valuable insights.
Encouraging developer participation in user interviews can enhance product quality. Involving developers in user research can lead to improved products that better meet user expectations.
Should developers do user research? Not if it distracts them from what they need to focus on. But what if user testing was easy and eye-opening?
Usability testing has never been easier. Understand the dos and don’ts of a usability test that you can try yourself. Even if this does not become a regular practice, we encourage all our developers to participate in user interviews.
Why? Because as a developer you know things that your users don’t. You’ll never be able to un-know them, but you can build empathy with those who don’t.
