    Often users are dissatisfied with the product, actively report it, but the reasons for their problems are not clear. And then qualitative research comes to the rescue: familiar interviews and polls, as well as more rare and expensive ones, using biometric equipment. At the same time, few people think about conducting product testing with the involvement of users (User Experience Testing). From the report you will learn how to prepare and conduct testing, where to get participants for the study and what questions you can get answers.
