EXPERT ARTICLE: for 25 years now, we've known that user testing can be carried out satisfactorily with five users. But is this still the right number?

Would your prefer a 43% chance of failure or the certainty of knowing that you're launching an improved version of your website or mobile app? The answer seems obvious doesn't it? And yet…

Interesting in listening to the market's views, we asked 100 decision makers from the digital sector about their approach to testing. What emerged was a picture of a contradictory situation, with practical obstacles on the one hand and undeniable benefits on the other.

Users are the sole arbiters of the success or failure of a website or mobile app. Through the ratings and reviews they leave on the app stores, they choose whether to encourage or discourage other potential users. And it's the same with a website: 62% of visitors will abandon it if they encounter browsing difficulties (source: 2016 IBM study). Why conduct user tests? The answer is self evident.

To avoid finding themselves in a tight spot over the medium to long term, increasing numbers of businesses are now beginning the process of digitally transforming themselves, and standing in the way of this process is a simple, basic question: How can you become more agile in your everyday work and management?

The process of redesigning your website has begun and you're planning to do it in agile mode. Whether it's being carried out internally or together with your web design agency, everything is ready and in place: the scrum master, the agile sprints, the test and learn approach.

Is it possible to test a mobile app while it's being developed? Yes! It's now simple and easy to make your app available to a community of testers, no matter whether it's on Android or iOS (or even Windows, which we won't be discussing in this article).

You undoubtedly have a roadmap for your digital projects. However, have you thought about building a roadmap for your user testing, i.e. a discovery roadmap? 

When a company decides to develop a mobile app, it does so with three main objectives in mind: Generate downloads / Generate user loyalty / Attract positive comments and reviews on app stores.

In order to achieve these objectives, it is essential to carry out user tests at several stages in the life cycle of an app.

When launching a new digital project (whether a website, mobile application or new feature), there are always many uncertainties regarding the best way to proceed. The wireframe stage drastically reduces these uncertainties, thanks to prototypes and test users. In everyday language, we would simply call it a mock-up.

At Ferpection, we conducted a study on websites and mobile applications in the banking sector. In this article, we will share with you what we've learned.

This time you are determined to actually run a user test. But how do you go about it? This article explores the basics of testing: what, when and how.

User tests help you make decisions by reducing the uncertainty around your site or mobile application. You need to conduct research among a sufficient number of users, but how many exactly?

Customer ratings in the AppStore and Google Play are a key factor when someone decides to download your application. Ratings are necessary to the success of your app as they give a hint about the user experience and the service provided.

During the "Hubday Future of mobility” we presented the results of our research on seducing users in a mobile first world. 

Only 4 months long, 201(4) was a very short year. A lot happened during this time: we gathered a community of 1,832 awesome testers, collected 6,590 relevant feedback while testing 30 different sites and mobile applications.

We founded Ferpection to fight for the quality and value of the experiences of users on the Internet and mobile.
