Collect existing information and background on a topic, users, or market.

Experimental methodology for comparing design versions through controlled testing and rapid validation of specific changes.

Evaluate learning ease of an interface for new users.

Identify usability problems based on recognized heuristics.

Method for understanding how users group information, helping to define or validate an information architecture.

Evaluate if users can find information in an already defined structure (such as a menu or map).

During testing, users verbalize what they're thinking, allowing understanding of their decisions and frustrations in real-time.

Qualitative methodology where multiple visual versions are presented to users to identify preferences.
