What is a user tester?

User testers are individuals who evaluate products, websites, apps, or software by using them and providing feedback from a user's perspective. Their main role is to identify usability issues, bugs, and areas for improvement before a product is launched to the public. User testers often follow specific test scenarios or tasks and report their experiences, which helps developers make products more user-friendly. This job may be done remotely or in-person and typically doesn't require technical expertise, just the ability to communicate observations clearly.
