I participate in a project where "the owner" of the project is also user of it. Overall, it is a project to manage hardware certifications and / or software. The system is scalable and can be used by others.

The issue is that it needs to undergo a process of redesign but I'm out of ideas of how I act to perform some kind of usability testing to be able to propose a new interface / interaction.

Create personas and drive a rapid test usability? I realize only a heuristic evaluation of the interface that already exists?

    You aim to sell the product to other users or will it continue to be of this single user? The owner asked for a redesign or why it needs to undergo this process?

    If the redesign is a need of the owner doing a requirements interview to understand the needs may help you get a head start. Maybe seeing the current design could make it more clear to give a proper answer.

Here are some tips that will help you change your mindset so you can view your product from new perspective:

  1. use the six thinking hats method from Ed. De Bono, use Tina Seelig flavour.
  2. test the product in a different room / device where you usually test it
  3. use the product setting up "extreme scenario" where you tell the user to act according to an extreme scenario you set before hand.
