Single Task
Ask testers to complete a single task on your prototype and measure conversion rates, inbound and direct paths, bounces and more.
Research objective
What is a single task test?
With the single task test, you can check how usable your design is. The power of this technique is that it focuses on what the user does and not what the user says. This kind of test reduces the risk of building the wrong thing and discovers problems when they are still easy and cheap to fix. The goal is to identify any usability problems, collect qualitative and quantitative data and determine the participant’s satisfaction with the product.
Benefits of single task testing:
- Learn if participants are able to complete a task successfully.
- Identify how long it takes to complete a task.
- Identify the changes required to improve user performance and satisfaction.
- Analyze the performance to see if it matches your usability objective.
Useful feedback
Why conduct single task testing?
Validate and adjust features based on data
Validate product plan using data and real evidence. Therefore, unearthing data about what works or not through usability testing allows you to create product roadmaps with confidence.
Ensure your product will succeed before launch
Usability testing is an advantage when vetting your product’s functionality and features. You can validate your assumptions and determine whether users will find value and utility in your product.
What can you do with a single task test?
Test New Features
Analyze new features for usability flaws before the product launch.
