- 1Replace [feature/product] with your specific feature (e.g., "our new checkout flow" or "our mobile app onboarding")
- 2Add context before the prompt: Describe what you want to test and why. Example: "We redesigned the checkout. Goal: Validate that users can complete purchase in under 2 minutes. Hypothesis: New flow reduces cart abandonment."
- 3If you have design files: Paste wireframes, mockups, or prototype links. Say "Create a test plan for these designs"
- 4If you have user personas: Paste persona details. Say "Create test scenarios for this persona: [persona details]"
- 5Paste the modified prompt into your preferred AI tool, like ChatGPT or Claude
- 6Review the test plan: Check scenarios, participant criteria, and metrics
- 7Refine test scenarios: Ask "Make task 2 more realistic" or "Add an edge case scenario for error handling"
- 8Export to your research tool: Copy to Notion, Dovetail, or your research platform
Pro Tips
- • Include design context: Share screenshots or prototypes so AI creates realistic test scenarios
- • Specify test method: Mention "remote unmoderated test" or "in-person moderated test" for appropriate protocol
- • Request realistic scenarios: Ask "Make scenarios feel like real user tasks, not feature demos"
- • Include success metrics: Specify what success looks like - "Task should complete in under 2 minutes with no errors"
- • Save test plan template: Reuse structure for future tests by asking "Use the same structure but for [new feature]"
