Write a usability test plan. Product or prototype: [PRODUCT]. Goals and questions: [GOALS]. Participants: [PARTICIPANTS]. Test environment and tools: [ENVIRONMENT].

Include: objectives; method (moderated, think-aloud, remote or in person); participant profile and number (explain why five per distinct user group often reveals most major problems, while not claiming statistical precision); tasks with scenarios and success criteria; metrics (task success, time on task, errors, confidence rating, a post-task and post-test questionnaire such as SUS, noting how SUS is scored); schedule of sessions; roles (moderator, note-taker, observers); materials and pilot test; data handling and consent [VERIFY in [JURISDICTION]]; and analysis and reporting plan with severity ratings.

Add a table of tasks: Task | Scenario text | Success criterion | Metrics | Notes. Write a facilitation checklist and a plan for what to do if the prototype breaks. Do not invent results.

State the decision this test will inform and the result that would change it, define the stopping rule for a task that goes wrong (after 5 minutes or on request), and attach a one-page participant brief.
