Prototype testing (sometimes referred to as performance testing or usability benchmarking) helps designers find out how easily users are able to complete key user flows and task flows.
Prototype testing yields various qualitative and quantitative insights. Generated heatmaps and screen recordings can yield qualitative insights without researchers even having to moderate the user tester’s session. Additionally, quantifiable metrics such as ‘success rate’ and ‘time to completion’ are useful for tracking improvement over time.
