Summary: When evaluating content, pay extra attention to whom you recruit. Closely tailor tasks to your participants and get comfortable with silence.
Writing good digital content requires a deep understanding of who your users are, how they think, and what they know. Testing your product’s content with users can help you to determine whether:
Your users can easily understand and process the information
The content has the tone of voice you predefined
There are jargon terms that need to be explained
You can evaluate your content using a variety of methods (including eyetracking and cloze tests), but our favorite way is through usability testing. A content-focused usability test can work much like any other such test, but there are some nuances to consider when the primary goal is evaluating digital copy.
