Product Design Test Template

UI Comprehension


Why should you use this template?

This test is specialized for one pesky issue: confusing UI. If you’ve been creative with your UI, you may have a beautiful website…that no one can engage with. 

With Helio, you can swiftly check on the comprehension of your design. Do people understand each icon’s purpose? Are you going against expected web patterns? The best part is that you can try as many variations as you want.

This test type can be especially helpful if you are exploring a new problem space that may not have established patterns yet. User confusion is common with innovation–use this template to help iron out the kinks.  

 

Testing Outcomes

  • Identify problem UI that is contributing to user confusion or frustration.
  • Choose between UI variations by determining the best fit for real users.
  • Validate your assumptions of user expectations in terms of content mapping.

  • Improve usability of your design by removing ambiguity from your UI.
