artificial intelligence | machine learning | sentiment analysis
What’s the best way to know how people really feel about your business, product, or service? Sales are certainly one metric. If your sales increase, that’s a sign that people appreciate what you’ve put in the market. But this metric is imperfect, as it could also suggest that you have a product or service that’s so valuable, people are willing to overlook minor or even major inconveniences.

According to the Entertainment Software Association, over 226 million people in the United States played video games of some kind in 2020. That’s more than two thirds of the entire population of the country. Some of these might be the prototypical hardcore gamer playing online via a console or PC, while others take a few minutes per day to indulge in a free-to-play mobile game on their phones.

You’ve got a brand new product, app, or update coming in the near future. Your engineering team is ready to fire on all cylinders to bring it to the masses. The time is now. But hold on for just a moment. How sure are you that people will use your product or service the way you intend? Assumptions are the enemy of technology. They can lead engineers, departments, and entire companies down the wrong fork in the road, wasting time and resources and delaying innovation. This is precisely where usability testing comes in.
