Tasks in usability testing are specific actions or scenarios that participants perform while interacting with the product being tested. These tasks aim to simulate real-world situations that users may encounter when using the product, and they typically focus on the product’s key features and functions.

Tasks can vary depending on the product being tested and the goals of the testing session. For example, in a usability test of a mobile app, tasks may include signing up for an account, searching for a product, or making a purchase. A website usability test may involve finding specific information, navigating to different pages, or completing a form.
