User Testing Essentials: From Planning to Analysis

In this course, you’ll learn the essential steps for conducting effective user testing to create user-centered products. We’ll begin with the importance of user testing and the different methods available, setting the foundation for why it matters.

From there, we’ll dive into planning sessions: defining objectives, identifying target users, and developing test scenarios that bring clarity to the process. You’ll also learn the practical aspects of running tests, such as setting up the environment and collecting both qualitative and quantitative data.

Next, we’ll focus on analyzing results. You’ll explore how to review feedback, identify patterns, and make data-driven decisions that guide design improvements. Finally, we’ll emphasize iterative testing and continuous improvement, showing how user feedback can drive ongoing refinement and long-term product success.

By the end, you’ll have a deeper understanding of how user testing fits into the design process and the tools to apply it toward creating exceptional user experiences.
