UserTesting

UserTesting can be a powerful tool to understand how real people experience my organization's software. Here's how I leverage it within my team. I start by defining clear goals for my user testing session. What specific questions do I have about user behaviour? UserTesting offers its participant pool, or I can recruit my testers based on my target audience. Once participants are selected, I'll create a test scenario with tasks for users to complete while interacting with the interface. The beauty of UserTesting is that it facilitates remote, unmoderated sessions. Users complete the tasks on their own while recording their screen and audio. This allows me to observe genuine user reactions and thought processes without influencing their experience. After the test, UserTesting provides recordings of each participant's session. I can watch them individually or share them with my team. As I analyze the recordings, I pay attention to areas where users struggle or hesitate. This can reveal issues with the interface's usability. UserTesting also offers tools to highlight key moments and create clips for easy reference and discussion with my colleagues. By synthesizing the findings from the user testing sessions, I can identify opportunities to improve the user experience. UserTesting empowers my organization to make data-driven decisions based on real user behaviour.

Our UX/UI team uses UserTesting regularly to conduct research studies. We have used different features, from unmoderated tests like A/B testing or prototype tests to live User Interviews. We enjoy the pool of candidates that are found within a few minutes of the test launch. Why do we use it? To talk to users within our industry to understand their needs, motivations, and expectations when using products like ours. We believe this tool is currently the best option on the market to combine all of our research efforts. The only struggle is the limited amount of pre-screener questions and the limitations within Canada (provinces/terretories).

UserTesting is used across the user experience team at my company to answer the research questions that we have across our product teams that we support. We use it for a variety of research methods from unmoderated to moderated, generative to evaluative, and more. The problems that the platform helps us solve are the ability to test our assumptions and quickly gain feedback on design concepts that influences the product decisions that our teams makes.

My team uses UserTesting to conduct moderated and unmoderated usability testing and interviews. The platform solves for not having to manage your own recruitment and incentivization processes. It also helps with the recording and analysis process post-facilitation.

Our team has been leveraging usertesting.com for conducting all the unmoderated and moderated research. The tool is pretty intuitive and helps our designer able to conduct the unmoderated tests without any support. The team at usertesting.com has been immensely helpful in working with us in putting together the right set of documentation which standardizes our overall research operations. Their acquisition of UserZoom has also integrated all our userbase into one. I highly recommend usertesting.com to others! We did evaluate other tools but the quality of the product, easy integration w/Figma and their Support system makes this an absolute 10/10!

UserTesting gives us access to general consumer panels that we otherwise would have no way to communicate with, let alone efficiently recruit for research. UserTesting also allows us to conduct a variety of methods including (but not limited to) moderated interviews, unmoderated usability testing, cart sorts, and more. One of the features we find most beneficial with UserTesting is its out-of-the-box panel filtration and custom screening capabilities, both of which help us recruit the most appropriate research candidates based on learning objectives and timelines.

As a UX Designer, I have completed an internal course that allows me to set up my own tests with the guidance of an assigned UX Researcher. I mainly use UserTesting to test design concepts we are currently ideating on to learn how participants interact with our prototypes. So far I have launched unmoderated card sorts and usability tests and both have helped give me the information I need to either start designing solutions, or go forward with the solution I had already proposed.

UserTesting allows me to create moderated and non-moderated usability tests quickly and easily. I don't need to worry about recruiting participants as they have a very wide range of participants available.

Evaluating new product features with real users: UserTesting helps us gather feedback on new product features before they are released to the general public. We create tests for specific user flows and invite participants to provide feedback on their experience using the feature. This allows us to identify any issues or pain points early on and make necessary adjustments before releasing the feature.

I use it for quick unmoderated user feedback on live sites and prototypes. We use the feedback to guide development decisions to make sure that they are in line with user needs and goals.

We use UserTesting to get feedback from live consumers/users of our websites and products. We’ve used the available community and also done private groups with both non-moderated (self-guided) tests and moderated tests. <div><br></div><div>We’ve ran tests to get feedback on website redesigns and enhancements including site architecture/structure, UI/UX, content, and style/colors. </div><div><br></div><div>It has been immensely helpful in getting user feedback quickly and easily to drive changes. </div>

We use it mostly for unmoderated testing to see usage, workflow, and pain points encountered on our site as well as uploading interviews to create clips.

UserTesting is mainly used by our UX team (designers, writers, researchers) to inform the development of our Hi-Fi designs and content. It allows us to see whether users understand and like the designs before releasing updates to our app and onboarding journey. Members of the marketing team also use it in order to test different campaign designs and messaging.

We use UserTesting to validate product ideas, test our product's usability and iterate on product designs. UserTesting helps us see the usability issues of our product that are otherwise hard to see. We may be biased against our own product, or because we are too familiar it prevents us from seeing these issues. UserTesting also helps us minimize the time spent on usability tests as it enables us to do unmoderated tests with the demographic of our choice.

Game changing speed to insight. User Testing allows us to quickly have confidence in our designs and quickly pivot if not meeting our users needs. This saves time not only in the UX team but also when it comes to development. User Testing also allows us to have much richer behaviour data to support the why behind out design thinking.

We use UserTesting for discovery interviews with users as well as for usability testing.

Great tool! UserTesting allowed me to conduct research studies easily and quickly. After launching a study I can get responses back within 2 hours. The quality of participants is great. The tool allowed me to get valuable feedback from participants and saved me so much time with the unmoderated studies. It is easy to save and share clips, it allowed me to share great clips with my stakeholders when presenting the final report

I am a UX Designer at a local transportation company where we offer both local bus service and city-to-city coach throughout the UK. Customers can purchase tickets easily through our app and website therefore it is vital that we ensure our platforms are user-friendly. I have been with UserTesting for over a year and I usually use it to conduct unmoderated tasks where the participants will complete tasks on the functional prototype and give their genuine feedback.

I have used UserTesting as both a user and a company working with users. From the user side, it is an easy process to find relevant tests to take that match my skill set. As a company I have used UserTesting to review landing pages on my website to get feedback from potential customers on design, readability, and easy of use. The problem I wanted to fix was on page time for users and clicked through to sign up for a demo upon getting the feedback I discovered that I needed to change my header section to be more clear and more concise.

I do all the web design for my company myself, so I often second guess if the site is laid out well. Just because I think that it is clear doesn't always mean that it is, so user testing is important for me to get feedback.

Here is my big problem with the software - it is prohibitively expensive for small businesses. They used to offer a one-off free test that would give me a rough idea of where to start, and then it was a more affordable pricing structure if you only wanted one or two tests. Now the only option is an expensive monthly payment, in the hundreds of dollars. To be fair, virtually all other companies are the same - but it is not affordable at all for smaller businesses.

It is being used for user research and usability testing. Solves the problem of screening people to talking to and reaching out to participants from all across the country. The XD team are the ones primarily using UserTesting for the design and research work around user experience design.

We use UserTesting for, I would estimate, 90% of the user experience research we do globally. Without UserTesting, I think we would struggle to gather and act on any insights at all. I recommend UserTesting because of the speed at which I can deliver insights to my teams. Not everyone in an organization understands how user research can help them and with UserTesting, I can 'sell' research to them by delivering feedback on a product from customers, usually on the same day. For my internal customers who know little to nothing about research and whose only experience with feedback might be from polls or a customer service desk, this is revolutionary. It makes me look good, builds trust and credibility, and it allows me to continue to work with that client on more complex problems down the road.

I use UserTesting in my organization to determine customer feedback on checkout services. One of the main business problems that are addressed is customers' thoughts and feelings behind certain aspects of the checkout service. Do they like how it looks? what does it mean to them? is it easy to use? etc.

My UX team, and our director of consumer insights has been using UserTesting for about about two years now, internally. The information we gleam has been invaluable, especially in 2020 when in-person focus groups are difficult to host. We have been able to catch and correct design issues before launch, pivot on design decisions, listen to users' "thoughts" as they complete surveys, listen and watch them complete card sorts for our IA. The options and uses are endless.

UserTesting was our primary vehicle for testing our designs – whether it was A/B testing concepts, usability studies for in-market products, or testing our hypotheses. The platform helped us increase speed to outcomes, which historically had been a laborious process that often took weeks. We would literally construct and run a test and within a day we'd have robust data on user sentiment we could analyze. In-app tools including charts and summaries helped us unpack usability issues or wayfinding challenges observed in our UIs. As the Sr. UX Manager under product, UserTesting became an indispensable tool my entire team relied on to uncover possibilities.
