Case Study: Testmatick’s Mobile Software Testing for My Day
The following case study is an example of a high-performing project handpicked by DesignRush, showcasing measurable results from a top agency in our network. If you're looking for similar results, reach out to our agency experts for personalized recommendations.
My Day, a U.S.-based mobile software company, needed to upgrade its application to meet new business requirements driven by rapid growth. While their in-house development team handled feature updates, they lacked the ability to test across a wide range of real devices—a critical need for ensuring performance and usability. Emulator testing wasn’t sufficient, so they turned to Testmatick for real-device quality assurance.
Testmatick conducted extensive testing using over 200 mobile devices from its in-house lab. Their QA engineers monitored and documented all issues until they were resolved, ensuring stability across devices. By addressing bugs early and accurately, Testmatick helped the client launch a more reliable product that aligned with its evolving goals.

How to Hire the Right Usability Testing Agency: Executive Guide
1. Define Specific Goals and Needs Clearly
- Set clear usability testing goals (e.g., reduce mobile app abandonment, validate checkout flow, run accessibility compliance audit).
- Specify budget range, user types to test (e.g., Gen Z shoppers, doctors), and preferred platforms/tools (e.g., Figma, UserTesting).
Clear objectives help agencies design tests around the outcomes that matter most, ensuring proposals align with your KPIs and business priorities.
2. Shortlist Agencies Based on Proven Experience
- Look for agencies with documented experience in your industry (e.g., HIPAA familiarity for healthcare, PCI-DSS for finance, multilingual UX for eCommerce).
- Prioritize firms with case studies showing measurable impact (e.g., 25% faster onboarding, reduced task error rate) and relevant compliance knowledge.
Industry-specific experience reduces the learning curve and ensures the agency can anticipate sector-specific UX risks.
3. Evaluate for Cultural and Communication Fit
- Assess time zone overlap and responsiveness during early communication – misaligned hours can slow iteration and cause delays.
- Ensure the agency uses compatible tools (e.g., Slack, Jira, Zoom) and supports your working cadence (e.g., sprint-based agile, design sprints).
A good cultural and collaboration fit reduces friction, improves speed, and boosts the overall success of usability engagements.
4. Request Customized, Detailed Proposals
- Send project-specific requests for proposal (RFPs) with scope, testing methodologies (e.g., moderated/unmoderated), tools (e.g., Maze, Lookback), timelines, and KPIs.
- Require case studies from similar verticals and clarity on how participant recruitment, analysis, and reporting will be handled.
Proposals tailored to your outcomes and user base reveal the agency’s depth and ability to deliver real value, not generic services.
5. Conduct Targeted Interviews to Confirm Expertise
- Meet the actual usability team—researchers, PMs, and analysts—not just salespeople. Ask who conducts tests and who handles reporting.
- Clarify team structure (e.g., strategist-led pod, PM vs. AE split), availability, and regularity of updates (weekly syncs, usability test debriefs).
Direct engagement with the team builds confidence in execution quality, communication style, and accountability across time zones.
6. Check References Rigorously
- Request references from clients in similar industries, regions, and budget ranges. Focus on past usability testing outcomes, not general UX.
- Ask pointed questions about impact (e.g., did tests reduce user friction or increase conversions?) and how the agency adapted to real-world challenges.
References provide third-party proof of reliability, domain expertise, and ability to meet deadlines, especially in regulated or high-stakes sectors.
7. Finalize a Precise, Transparent Contract
- Ensure the contract outlines usability testing scope, deliverables (e.g., session recordings, reports), participant profiles, tools used, and timelines.
- Include clauses on IP ownership, data privacy (especially for recorded user sessions), compliance (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA), and timezone coordination for global teams.
A clear contract minimizes misalignment, sets expectations for reporting and iteration, and ensures mutual accountability from day one.
Key Questions To Ask a Usability Testing Agency
When interviewing shortlisted agencies, asking pointed questions is critical. The answers will help you gauge each agency’s research capabilities, domain expertise, and fit for your project’s complexity, tools, and collaboration needs.
Below are key questions to ask, along with why each matters, what a strong answer looks like, and red flags to watch for:
1. Do you have experience conducting usability testing for companies in our industry?
Why this matters: Usability testing requirements vary significantly across industries. Compliance (HIPAA, PCI), user types (doctors vs. students), and task complexity demand relevant domain experience.
- Ideal answer:
“Yes. For instance, we tested a fintech onboarding flow for a neobank. We designed a protocol to meet KYC compliance and used moderated sessions with users aged 30–55. We reduced abandonment by 19% over three testing rounds.” - Red flags:
“We’ve worked in many industries” or “Usability is the same everywhere,” without any specific examples or domain-relevant insight.
2. What’s your usability testing methodology, and when do you use moderated vs. unmoderated sessions?
Why this matters: The right method depends on the research goal. Agencies must understand how to apply methods based on context, not default to convenience.
- Ideal answer:
“We use moderated sessions for complex flows (e.g., enterprise dashboards) and unmoderated testing for early-stage prototypes or high-volume feedback. We align method selection with your goals and user profiles.” - Red flags:
Defaulting to unmoderated testing to save cost, or being unable to articulate the trade-offs between methods.
3. What tools and platforms do you use to conduct, record, and analyze usability tests?
Why this matters: Professional tools ensure session reliability, data security, and actionable insights. Agencies without modern tooling may lack research maturity.
- Ideal answer:
“We use Maze and UserTesting for unmoderated studies and Lookback or Zoom for moderated sessions. For analysis, we provide session recordings, highlight reels, and task-by-task success metrics.” - Red flags:
“We use screen recording software” or “We just observe and take notes,” with no mention of analysis frameworks, session tracking, or platform integrations.
4. How do you recruit test participants that match our target users?
Why this matters: Accurate participant recruitment is critical for valid insights. Testing with the wrong audience wastes time and money.
- Ideal answer:
“We start with your user personas, then recruit through vetted panels or screeners. For a recent B2B SaaS client, we sourced IT decision-makers with budgets over $50k annually to test procurement workflows.” - Red flags:
“Anyone can test usability,” or relying on in-house staff, family, or random testers instead of screening for relevant user traits.
5. How do you ensure compliance with data privacy regulations like GDPR or HIPAA?
Why this matters: Usability testing often involves recorded sessions, PII, or behavioral data. Mishandling this can create major legal exposure.
- Ideal answer:
“We use GDPR-compliant recruitment platforms and redact identifying data in reports. In healthcare projects, we sign BAAs and avoid collecting PHI in recordings unless explicitly authorized.” - Red flags:
“We don’t record sensitive data,” without explaining how that’s enforced. Lack of familiarity with security obligations or dismissing compliance risks.
6. Can you share case studies where your testing led to measurable UX improvements?
Why this matters: Validates their ability to drive impact, not just run tests. You want a partner who can translate findings into business outcomes.
- Ideal answer:
“Yes. For a SaaS CRM, usability testing revealed friction in the onboarding wizard. We redesigned key flows and boosted completion by 34% over three iterations.” - Red flags:
“Clients don’t always share results,” or vague metrics like “the feedback was helpful,” without proof of implementation or performance lift.
7. Who will be conducting the research, and what’s their experience level?
Why this matters: You want experienced UX researchers—not junior generalists—leading test design, moderation, and analysis.
- Ideal answer:
“Our senior UX researcher will lead your project with 8 years’ experience in enterprise software testing. She’ll conduct all sessions and lead reporting. You’ll also have a PM for coordination.” - Red flags:
“We’ll assign a team based on availability,” or no clarity on who moderates tests vs. who handles analysis/reporting.
8. How do you present usability findings and recommendations?
Why this matters: Actionable reports should translate user observations into prioritized fixes, not just raw feedback.
- Ideal answer:
“We provide executive summaries, annotated session recordings, and a prioritized list of usability issues with severity ratings and design recommendations. We also run a debrief workshop.” - Red flags:
“We’ll send you session recordings,” or overly long reports without clear prioritization or suggested fixes.
9. What’s your approach to communication and time zone coordination?
Why this matters: Many usability tests require tight feedback loops. If teams are out of sync, project momentum suffers.
- Ideal answer:
“We have overlapping working hours with the U.S. East Coast and use Slack and Notion for async updates. We offer weekly live debriefs and respond to requests within 24 hours.” - Red flags:
“We’re flexible on time zones,” without specific overlap plans, or slow early replies that suggest poor availability.
10. What do you need from us to ensure a successful usability engagement?
Why this matters: Clarifies their onboarding process and expectations for your involvement. A mature agency knows that great work requires collaboration.
- Ideal answer:
“We’ll need clear user personas, your current prototypes or live flows, and your internal KPIs. We also schedule a discovery workshop upfront to align expectations.” - Red flags:
“Not much—we can handle everything,” or unclear about deliverables, approval processes, or access needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does a usability testing agency do?
Usability testing agencies evaluate how real users interact with your product, website, or app to identify friction points. They run structured tests, gather behavioral insights, and deliver actionable recommendations to improve user experience and conversions.
2. How long does usability testing take to deliver results?
Initial feedback can be gathered in a few days. Most usability testing cycles — including planning, testing, and reporting — take 1–3 weeks. Improvements can lead to measurable UX gains within a month.
3. What tools do usability testing agencies use?
Top agencies use platforms like UserTesting, Maze, Lookback, Hotjar, and Optimal Workshop to run sessions, record behavior, and analyze usability data. These tools help deliver clear, data-backed UX improvements.
4. Is usability testing relevant for small businesses?
Yes. Even small businesses benefit from usability testing by fixing design issues that frustrate users and hurt conversions. Many agencies offer affordable testing options for SMBs and startups.
