Navigating excellence: DOOR3's five-step process for user testing services
-
1
Discovery and planning
The process of discovering and planning for user testing is a multi-faceted endeavor that begins with a clear understanding of the product’s objectives and the target user base. We collaborate with your stakeholders to define the goals of the testing, such as identifying usability issues or validating new features. A detailed test plan is then developed, outlining the scope, methodology, participant criteria, and key performance indicators (KPIs). This meticulous planning is essential for obtaining actionable insights that can significantly improve the product’s user experience.
-
2
Test design
We then develop test scenarios and user tasks based on our discoveries in the first step. The team identifies key user journeys and tasks that the product is designed to facilitate. These journeys are then broken down into specific, measurable, and achievable test scenarios that reflect real-world use cases. Each scenario is scripted with a clear set of steps, expected outcomes, and criteria for success or failure.
We then develop prototypes to simulate the product’s interface and functionality. The prototypes are designed to be interactive, allowing participants to engage with them as they would with the actual product. This dual focus on test scenarios and prototypes ensures that the user testing is both structured and realistic, thereby yielding actionable insights for product improvement. -

Test execution
This is where meticulous planning meets real-world application, and it is crucial for gathering actionable data on user experience. The DOOR3 team initiates the testing sessions, either in-person or remotely, depending on the methodology chosen. Participants are briefed about the process and what is expected of them, but not so much that it influences their natural interactions with the prototype. As participants navigate through the test scenarios, DOOR3 facilitators observe their actions, expressions, and comments, recording the sessions for later analysis. Tools like eye-tracking software, click maps, and analytics may also be employed to capture quantitative data.
-
4
Data analysis and insights
This is where raw data turns into actionable recommendations for product improvement. After the test execution, all qualitative and quantitative data are collated and meticulously examined. Qualitative data, such as user comments and observations, are coded and categorized to identify recurring themes or issues. Quantitative data, like click-through rates or time spent on tasks, are statistically analyzed to discern patterns and anomalies. Tools like heatmaps, funnel analysis, and user flow diagrams can also be employed to visualize user interactions and identify bottlenecks or friction points. Our team then synthesizes these findings to draw conclusions about the product’s usability, effectiveness, and areas for improvement. These insights are aligned with the initial objectives and KPIs set for the testing to measure success and identify gaps.
-
5
Recommendations and optimization
The recommendations and optimization phase is the final, yet ongoing, stage of the user testing process, aimed at implementing the insights gained from data analysis to improve the product. A comprehensive report is prepared, summarizing the methodology, findings, and recommendations. This report is shared with stakeholders and serves as a foundational document for making data-driven decisions to enhance the product’s user experience. Based on the comprehensive report, actionable recommendations are formulated to address identified usability issues, enhance user satisfaction, and meet business objectives. These could range from simple tweaks, like changing the color of a call-to-action button, to more complex solutions, such as reorganizing the information architecture.
We help prioritize which recommendations to implement immediately and which can be deferred, creating a cycle of continuous improvement, as user testing becomes an iterative process that evolves along with the product.
