Usability Testing does not have to be lengthy or complicated.

There are ways to gather insights using a quick and dirty approach.

This exercise is not for expert users but typical users, so maybe test 3 different designs.

• Find A User
• Show a design, sketch or printout to a user
• Ask The User What They Are Seeing
• Explain the main purpose of the screen and what it is supposed to do
• Ask how they would interact with it to accomplish a particular task
• Find More Volunteers
• Even use people in the team
• Iterate Or Change The Designs
• Identify anything confusing and revise

Be careful when using this approach. It will give you basic insights and mostly opinions . This is because the user is not committing to steps in a journey.
