Usability testing

Usability testing asks representative participants to perform realistic tasks while their behaviour is examined. It investigates how an interface works in use, rather than collecting design opinions alone.[1]

Ask someone to find a compatible replacement part without revealing the route. Observe wrong turns and uncertainty. A task that names the correct button can conceal the very problem the study should uncover.
