# Usability testing

Conducting testing with a Figma wireframe

Usability testing gives validation of the user journey and user interface

### Scheduling

Each session should be about 20 minutes with 10 minutes in between to decompress or tidy notes

### Conducting testing

* we're testing the app and not you
* you can't do anything wrong
* the app isn't finished - some things won't work
