Usability testing is a great way to evaluate how real consumers actually use a product.
We
- evaluate both existing and prototype products
- test in the home, laboratory or wider environment
- design and construct test rigs.
See Digital accessibility & usability testing - for information on RiDC digital testing.
Our resources include our
- 2,700+ person consumer panel across the range of disabilities and age
- experienced and specialist in-house UX research team
- partnerships with Intertek lab and FIRA lab, each providing extensive facilities for observed trials, rigs and filming.
