### Why test? {#why-test}

Usability testing, or user testing, is a step in the design process when you evaluate your product or service with actual users and receive feedback to create an even better consumer product.

<br />

Throughout the testing process, you can explore and analyze your target audience's behavior as they interact with your product.

### Testing plan {#testing-plan}

The following behaviours should be tested when the DDMC is pushed live:
Tip: The test should seek to discover if users find the Digital Debit Mastercard (DDMC) easy to use. Tip: The testing should be conducted with a minimum of 10 people in either a moderated or unmoderated setting. **In testing, we are looking for answers to the following questions**:

* Can users find and discover DDMC?
* Can users complete key tasks such as use the card for online shopping?
* Can they easily find their card number, expiry date and CVC?
* Can users navigate successfully through the DDMC?
* Are users able to understand the hierarchy (i.e they clearly understand what the most important elements are) ?
* Can users quickly understand the written content?
* Do users find the visual design appealing?
* Do users say the product works as they expected it to?
* Did users say they thought that most people would learn to use this product very quickly?
* Did users say they felt confident using the DDMC?
