MVP Tester Checklist

A reusable pass for checking whether an MVP works consistently and can be used easily — run it against any app before it ships, and again after every meaningful change.

How to use this: Walk each section against the live app, not the design file. Check an item only once it's been personally clicked, tapped, or typed through — not because it looks fine. Note the app name, build, and date before you start; capture failures with a screenshot and a one-line reproduction. Anything that can't be verified (e.g. no test payment method), leave unchecked and say why in the notes field.

CriticalBlocks a core task or breaks trust

HighHurts completion or confidence

MediumReal friction, not blocking

LowMinor polish issue

OpportunityNot broken, could be better

Platform-specific checks

The sections above apply to any app. Open the supplement that matches what's being tested — a project can be more than one of these (e.g. a web app with a companion extension).
