Product testing is not a one and done type of deal. With the data you have obtained from user feedback, you most likely make alterations to the product. You need to test it again to ensure the issues (if any) have been resolved. Once you are sure users are satisfied, you will know you have conducted your final product testing.

No matter what method you are using to gather data, you will want to sure the participants representative of your target audience. Data gathering methods can include interviews, surveys, focus groups, questionnaires. And you need to develop a proper recruitment screener that will give you candidates with have the desired behaviours and are from the right demographics.

you need to build a team of people you trust.

Prepare to take action in case something goes wrong. For example, if there is a chance that you can run out of product, bring extra. Also, make sure your testing venue is located somewhere near a hardware store that you can use to purchase supplies as the need arises.

with a large park space and easy accessibility.

What are you trying to achieve with the product testing? This is a question that needs to be answered in advance as it will inform every decision you make. This includes everything from the data you wish to obtain to how you are going to use it. Make sure the goals are clearly defined and detailed as possible so you bring an idea to life that people will find useful.

However, you cannot go into this process without a plan if you want to be successful. There are a lot factors to consider if you want to obtain data that can be actionable. To ensure a smooth product testing process, follow the below tips.

Due to the effects of the product life cycle, the need for product development arises for every company. And one of the critical aspects of bringing your product from idea conceptualisation to the market is product testing. This way, you gain valuable insights from real consumers in terms of utility, performance, appeal and safety, among others, of you offering.

Has anyone ever complained about or returned a product because it is a quality product? Probably not. The problem with complaints and returns is that they do not just hurt your reputation, they also hurt your bottom line. Not to mention that you will also incur additional costs in order to analyze the product, determine the root cause and conduct product testing to make sure it is good to go on the local, national or global markets. So whether it is a product design, prototype or final product, quality is a must.

This is not just about finding out what your potential customers want or need but expands beyond and help generate more ideas that can surprise customers.

As you can see, the DFMA approach is about getting the product manufactured in the shortest time without sacrificing the importance of product quality. With the DFMA approach, people who are looking to get their product manufactured have found a system that can significantly increase the efficiency of getting their product manufactured.

And since the production process usually results into a complete and quality product on the first iteration, your company starts earning revenue quicker than if it had not used the approach.

Gets the product to the market faster

This means the DFMA approach actually makes the process of manufacturing a product more reliable since it is less prone to failure at any stage.

fewer parts means the design of the product is less complicated. This greatly increases manufacturing feasibility and minimises the chance that something will go wrong during the manufacturing process.

means

When designing using the DFMA, designers use fewer parts as possible in the overall design. Not only that, they also use standard components to minimise the number of unique parts that go into the product. (All this is done while making sure the end result is a quality product).

Picking up from the above-mentioned points,

Increased reliability

So with the total number of parts reduced, as well as standard components in manufacturing being used, getting the product to market becomes cheaper and faster.

Good product development strategies focus on state-of-the-art technologies. On top of helping cut production costs, it helps the design stay current and relevant in constantly changing markets. This will also extend the product’s innovation edge well beyond its introduction to the market.

Prototypes are important to the movement of the design from the digital to the physical existence. This is very helpful to assist visual and functional aspects. It also helps get feedback from various stakeholders, especially the end user. Prototypes range from basic ones usually now done using FDM 3D printers to sophisticated ones done using final manufacturing processes, e.g. CNC milling, Injection molding. Prototypes are different from mock-ups, where mock-ups can be started, as early as, in the concept development stage to provide an understanding of ideas. Prototypes are usually used to validate ideas usability at a closer level to the actual end product. An alternative to this process would be a simple mock-up prepared from e.g. cardboard, to represent the idea, or an off-the-shelf product modified to add the value expected from the new idea.

The theoretical implementation of the idea starts by a preliminary design based on the selected concept(s). This step outlines all main features of the product and identifies the general shape and size. Product aesthetics are usually defined and frozen within this step. The detailed design then goes on to identify all the specifics of the products, especially those directly related to product ease of manufacturing and assembly. One of most important factors identified in this step is product strength and durability. The design is then presented using 3D drawings, usually in STEP file format. However, higher standards require the 3D drawing to be paired with 2D technical drawings identifying specific tolerances and finish required for each feature of the product parts. This is of particular importance if you want to make sure all interfacing parts match together in the assembly.

A concept is the implementation plan of the idea. It is as important, if not more important than the idea itself. Usually it takes significant time to develop a good concept and the process has to go through a number of concept before finalizing one or two concepts.

Prior art is any evidence that idea is already known. It does not need to exist physically or be commercially available, previously being described can be enough. However, where a prior art exists does not always constitutes a barrier against its use. Sometimes the idea has already been deployed without legal backing like a patent, in such case it is sometimes feasible to use the same idea with little to no modifications. Although, it might be wise to make sure the idea was not well protected for a good reason, e.g. being unfeasible. It pays to conduct prior art research to make sure you do not infringe on others rights, but also to get inspiration from previous works and try to go the extra mile instead of reinventing the wheel. This is especially helpful for bigger companies who can afford royalties to use innovative developed ideas.

An idea can seem great but when all is said and done, it is not feasible. That is why it is important to gauge the idea feasibility early on before any capital investment is made. The analysis should take into consideration measuring the level to which the idea implementation will solve the problem it was initially created to fix. This could be done against a set of requirements identified when the idea was conceived.

Converting an idea into success can be achieved through direct investment or pre-sales after a market test, both of which needs to be preceded by one object. That is a physical practical prototype. A number of people might find it helpful to have a clear process on how to move forward, including innovators with great ideas, start-ups new to prototyping, and companies new to product design.

Advantages

A business needs to turn a profit and grow to ensure continued existence, and new products make sure that happens. Since product designers know that good product design places emphasis on the user, they can ensure that the final design is something consumers will find useful in their lives. And, as we all know, when consumers find value in a product, they can easily support a business.

When designing a product yourself, you can run into what is known as creative block. Although this is a normal aspect of the design process, if you are looking to get your product manufactured quickly, this can be a huge setback. Bringing in a professional product designer means you have a fresh pair of eyes that can bring a new approach to the design process. The end result is that they keep the creative juices flowing throughout the entire process.

If you do not have the training and experience of a product designer, you can face challenges during the design process. Product designers with the necessary training and experience are excellent problem solvers and can tackle such problems head on to come up with the optimum design. This is crucial if you cannot afford to suffer major delays or have a failed product due to design problems inherent in the design.

Using principles of good product design, product designers can make your idea visually appealing in the eyes of potential consumers and investors. This is especially important for people whose company is in the startup phase and need to build buzz and secure funding, setting themselves up for success in the process. Getting these two groups to rally behind your product idea early on in the design phase is a recipe for getting your company off the ground.

Designing a product is a time-consuming process, especially when you have not studied its principals, methods and techniques. Not only that, if not done right, it can be rather costly to manufacture the final product if the proper design and optimisation practices are not followed from the start. Once you are past the idea conceptualisation stage, hiring a product designer is the next logical step to save yourself time and money down the road. Also, product design for manufacturing is a risky endeavour, one that can make or break a company. Design failures are part of the industry, and while big companies can brush them off, the same cannot be said for small companies and startups. Having product designers to get you through this critical time is one way to make sure you increase your chances of success. Besides saving you time and money and reducing the risk of failure, there are other benefits of hiring product designers.

Product development best practices:

As you can see, even though new product development means going back to the drawing board and coming up with a new product design and prototype, it is a worthy endeavor. This means that even big businesses cannot and should not ignore it.

When new players show up on the scene with a new product, it can cause a disruption to the market activities of already established big businesses, especially if the new product has an innovative product design. Even an innovative prototype from a new company can cause consumers to see the old products from the old company as useless, which can be disastrous for them when the new player finally enters the market. New product development is a great way to stay relevant.

New Comers

Big businesses need to be leaders in innovation. And showing the world a new product design or prototype shows everyone that a company is creative and ready to break new ground. This generates some much-needed buzz around the new product, showing that the company is in the service of solving the problems of consumers in new and exciting ways.

Staying ahead of the competition is important, especially for big businesses that have gone global. Developing a new product or service comes with a number of advantages, like attracting new customers and creating new wealth. For big businesses who are already leaders on the global market, this makes sure that they remain at the top.

Big business needs new products

Providing a new product or service to the consumer is essential to the survival of any company, even for the big ones that operate on a global scale. Growth is a must if a company wants to continue to exist and keep their employees who depend on the jobs they provide to support themselves and/or their family. A company that does not grow is sure to face a lot of challenges that will eventually make it wither out and die. This can be avoided by making sure employees work hard on a new product design, come up with a prototype and do what it takes to get it into the market as a finished product.

The needs of customers are ever-evolving, along with their tastes and preferences. This mean a product or service that was once so useful can quickly become obsolete, and consumers will quickly move on and forget about the company. This is what new product development aims to avoid by providing consumers with new value. And if the consumers deem the new product to be of overwhelming value, they will be more than happy to part with their money.
