What is usability testing?
Building successful products means answering your users’ needs. The usability report is a key document that allows you to gain insight into your users’ expectations and frustrations and is crucial in evaluating your product’s success – whether it’s a physical product, a mobile app or a website. Learnings from Usability Testing will inform other UX design and product management documentation such as Customer Journey Maps, Empathy Maps, and Product Roadmaps.
How do you write a usability testing report?
In order to test what users like/dislike about your product and find resolutions for their issues, you will need to create a user (or usability) testing report that leads to deeper understanding. Here’s how you can write an effective usability report:
- Lead with an executive summary that concisely explains the report, discussing your key findings, the purpose of the study, how and where it took place.
- Clearly indicate the main goals you wanted to accomplish while conducting user testing.
- Explain your research methodology and analyze its effectiveness.
- Detail participant profiles, testing setup, moderation and post-test questions.
- Outline key results, bugs, issues and recommendations for next steps.

What is a folio?
A folio is a live webpage, a full-screen digital slideshow presentation and an exportable PDF/PNG document all-in-one. Folios are responsive, collaborative and completely customizable.
Start from an instructional template, editable example or a blank folio to build all your business documents and presentations with the ease of a web builder. Add team members and guests to work together in real-time on the cloud. Changes instantly sync to the live version of the folio so both internal and external stakeholders are always up-to-date. Folios are the next generation of flexible documents and presentations.
How is Xtensio different from PPT, Illustrator or Word?
Unlike other presentation or document creators, Xtensio works like a web builder so you can easily drag and drop interactive content, customize the layout, and change colors, fonts, backgrounds to get professional-looking business content out the door quickly, without needing a designer.
You can collaborate with team members and guests to work together in real-time on the cloud. And the flexibility to share folios as live web links, digital slideshow presentations or exportable PDF/PNGs means you don’t have to jump between tools when creating different deliverables.
