VALT Video Solutions for Product Testing

Product testing (also called consumer testing) involves measuring the properties and performance of products using unbiased individuals. Observing people interacting with products is a great way to understand the product’s usability and to understand the overall user experience (UX).

Using digital video to record product testing is an indispensable part of the process. Much of the focus with product testing has been on analytics, often at the cost of a deeper understanding of the users’ experience with the products. Video captures the product testing process in detail, allowing companies to truly learn people’s preferences and why users do what they do.

The VALT (Video Audio Learning Tool) system from IVS is an affordable, state-of-the-art video solution for companies or regulators conducting product testing. VALT is used to create an extensive video library of consumer testing, allowing effective side-by-side comparison of various user experiences in dealing with the same products and services.
