About usability & performance testing

Usability and performance testing can help you reduce risks and liability by giving insight into the quality of a product or component. DEKRA offers customers a wide range of fitness-for-use (FFS), performance and tests across our network of testing laboratories worldwide. Our usability and performance testing specialists have decades of experience of ensuring that customers’ products are rigorously tested against different conditions, use cases and additional requirements beyond basic regulatory standards.
