How would you usability-test a feature-flagged staging component?

Tests if you know usability testing works early. Strong answer: realistic tasks with careful wording to avoid priming; facilitator observes behavior and asks followups without influencing participant; staging is just another interface.
Tests your understanding that usability testing is observational and iterative, not just for finished products. Strong answer: recruit a participant and assign realistic tasks with precise wording to avoid priming; use a facilitator to observe behavior, listen for feedback, and ask followups without influencing the participant; treat the staging component as the interface under test. Red flag: insisting the feature must be complete or treating the session like a bug hunt instead of user observation.
