user-testing

Vocabulary Word

Definition

'User-testing' is about checking whether a product, like a website, gadget, or app, works well for the people who will use it. It's more than just finding bugs. It's also about understanding how intuitive it feels.

Examples in Different Contexts

In social impact campaigns, user-testing tools and resources can gauge how effectively a message resonates. A campaign manager might state, 'User-testing showed that our messaging needs a clearer call-to-action to motivate change.'
