The Challenge

hand, to ensure that choices done for

the new app had a positive impact on

Leroy Merlin team chose to do the following users tests:

•  Test of the existing app with 20 users on iOS and Android to know what were the strenghts and weaknesess.

•  Test of the new app in-development with 30 users on iOS and 30 users on Android to identify the priority optimizations before launch.
