The document provides guidance on conducting user experience (UX) testing for a product or website. It outlines various UX testing methods including remote analytics-based testing using tools like clicktale and A/B testing as well as local user testing using eye tracking and usability testing. The document describes how to recruit 4-6 test participants, conduct a usability test using a think-aloud protocol, take detailed notes, and get feedback to identify issues regarding learnability, efficiency, safety and satisfaction. Testers are advised to let participants fail without guidance and ask open-ended questions to gather insights without bias.

- 1st click: And here comes the tester's most important questions:Why you want to click here?What do you expect to get from it?It is very important to ask these questions before the click. After the user gets the result to his action, he will actually forget what his anetial expectation was.
