# Usability Testing Skill · Design and Creative Software Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/usability-testing Usability testing is a research method in which real users attempt tasks on a product or prototype while observers watch, take notes, and identify points of confusion or friction. UX researchers and designers use it throughout the design process, from early wireframes to finished products, to validate design decisions with empirical evidence rather than assumptions. Common formats include moderated in-person sessions, remote unmoderated testing via tools like UserTesting, and A/B comparisons. ## Usability Testing in the job market - Open roles: 21 - Employers hiring: 18 - Last checked: September 13, 2026 ## Asked for alongside Usability Testing Measured from the 21 open roles that name Usability Testing, not from a curated list. - [User Research](https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/user-research) — 9 roles (42.9%) - [Prototyping](https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/prototyping) — 8 roles (38.1%) - [Figma](https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/figma) — 7 roles (33.3%) - [Information Architecture](https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/information-architecture) — 6 roles (28.6%) - [Interaction Design](https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/interaction-design) — 6 roles (28.6%) - [Wireframing](https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/wireframing) — 6 roles (28.6%) - [Qualitative Research](https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/qualitative-research) — 5 roles (23.8%) - [Quantitative Research](https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/quantitative-research) — 5 roles (23.8%) ## Roles that use Usability Testing - [UX Designer](https://career.thegoodapps.co/occupations/ux-designer) — 5 - [Product Designer](https://career.thegoodapps.co/occupations/product-designer) — 4 - [Interaction Designer](https://career.thegoodapps.co/occupations/interaction-designer) — 1 - [Market Research Analyst](https://career.thegoodapps.co/occupations/market-research-analyst) — 1 - [User Experience Designer](https://career.thegoodapps.co/occupations/user-experience-designer) — 1 - [User Experience Researcher](https://career.thegoodapps.co/occupations/user-experience-researcher) — 1 ## Employers hiring for Usability Testing - [The Home Depot](https://career.thegoodapps.co/organizations/the-home-depot) — 2 open roles - [The New York Times Company](https://career.thegoodapps.co/organizations/the-new-york-times-company) — 2 open roles - [Warner Bros.
