thinking and suitable changes for the products and strategies.
SITUATIONS
PRODUCT TEST
The product test which is necessary during the growth stage of the
product cycle. Before moving forward with a mass production,
businesses should do the test on customer experience about the new
products.
The testing phase of product development ensures that the product
operates as expected. This phase begins after the implementation of
the product requirements.
Depending on the development methodology used, the testing will
occur at different times during the project:
+ Waterfall methodology
+ Agile methodology
Concept Test

Steer clear of bad decision-making
Find the strongest option —> improve
underperforming concepts —> avoid an
embarrassing failure
Turn the ideas into reality
Generate new ideas from potential customers
with product testing through post-use surveys
or focus groups
Fix problems prior to launch
Optimizing your initial idea to develop a
product that customers truly want and need
Confirm and strengthen the argument

In 2015, Tesla conducted a ________ on a whole new
scale. The company announced the upcoming
Tesla Model 3, which still hadn’t been made at the
Tesla
time, and invited interested consumers to put
down $1,000 deposits. Incredibly, about 400,000
customers invested in the Model 3 in the month
after its announcement, as reported in.
Not only did Tesla determine whether their target

customers would purchase the new car, but they
also had a massive $400 million investment in the
concept.

In 2008, Kellogg’s launched the Crunchy Nut Bites
to offer consumers a new flavor and texture. An
extensive 4-stage study preceded the launch.
In the research process, the food concepts were

quantitatively tested with a large representative
group of customers. Four new prototype recipes
were developed based on the highest rated food
idea and further tested.
Then, the new product was put through Kellogg’s

“In Home Usage Test,” where selected consumers
were given the product to try for a couple of days
and then asked to answer a questionnaire to rate
their experience with the product and indicate
their willingness to purchase it.
Kellogg's
This is product testing because you can figure out
that Kellogg's had done the MVP. They gave their
new product to the selected consumers, which
means they are testing the actual product to
their target customers. This way, Kellog's can
know what the customer wants and enhance the
quality of their early product.

This concept testing helps Lego realize:
→ Girls preferred to build entire environments
rather than stand-alone structures and also
focussed more on interior layouts and
structure details.
→ Using these insights, Lego decided to design
a whole new line of products catered to the
female demographic – Lego Friends. This
series launched in 2012 and tripled the value
of construction toys for girls from $300 million LEGO
to $900 million in 2014
