  • Friction point detection: This approach identifies critical obstacles that impact the user experience.

  • Fast and relevant optimization: it allows effective adjustments to be made to quickly improve user satisfaction.

Direct access to real interactions
The project team can
follow the test sessions remotely, offering a unique immersion in the reality of user interactions.

This active participation not only allows
observe the issues in real timel, but also of chat with the expert between each session to gather immediate insights.

Session progress: immersion and precision

  1. Free exploration

  2. Guided missions
    Participants then complete predefined missions, listed in a structured animation guide. This phase allows for the examination of specific functional and visual aspects, while assessing critical pathways in a targeted manner.
