As an AI language model, I do not have personal experience, but here are the steps to create effective user tests in a human-centered design project:
1. Identify the objectives of the user test: The objectives should be defined clearly regarding what result or outcome you want to achieve from the user test.
2. Define the User Testing Methodology: Select the specifications of the user testing method that you will use to test your product.
3. Recruit Participants: You should identify your user persona and recruit participants who match your demographic before the test can be executed.
4. Create Task Lists: List tasks and scenarios that you will ask your test user to perform. These tasks should be straight to the point and enable the user to express their views.
5. Write Questions: You should create a set of open-ended questions that align with the test objectives and are relevant to the users.
6. Conduct the User Test: You should keep an eye on the user test to avoid any deviations from the plan.
7. Analyze Results: Analyze the findings of your user test on both quantitative and qualitative bases.
8. Make Improvements Based On Your Findings: Finally, you should take appropriate actions and make improvements based on your findings to impact your product's overall design iteratively.
