Analysis

Competitive testing through qualitative user tests

Looking to gain in-depth insights on how your website or app performs relative to the competition? Then conduct qualitative user tests via our platform. These can be done unmoderated as well as moderated. 

UX Benchmarking through quantitative user tests

In situations where statistical validity is required but screen/audio/face recording is not, you can conduct quantitative user tests. When it comes to UX Benchmarks, we are a big fan of the SUPR-q. However, other usability metrics such as the SEQ, SUS and NPS and survey responses can also be used.

Mixed methods studies

Interested in both statistisal validity as well as in-depth insights? Then choose to combine both methods for optimal results.

1 - Create a test and select a recruitment method

Create a test via the dashboard. Choose to do either unmoderated user tests or moderated user tests. Next decide whether to recruit testers via our panel, to invite your own testers or to use a combination of both.

2 - Conduct sessions on desktop, tablet or mobile

Let testers execute the test on one or multiple device types. Simply specificy the amount of sessions required per device type and let the platform take care of the rest.

3 - Analyse the session recordings and export the results

Go from data to insights in no-time by making use of usabilty metrics, automatic transcriptions, annotations and highlights. Export the session recordings, your notes and highlights. 

Tester recruitment across Europe

We can help you to recruit testers across Europe. Our strongest markets are the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany and the UK. However, we also facilitate the recruitment of testers in other European markets. 

 

Reminders, instructions and local support means hassle-free recruitment

With the use of auto-reminders, instructions and localized support we reduce friction in the recruitment process. We take care off the operational part, so that you can focus on the research. 

We heavily invest in tester quality

The quality of any study is dependent on the quality of the testers. We get this. This is why we have implemented various quality control mechanisms and a detailed quality assurance policy.

Make use of a private pool

By creating a private pool you make sure that the testers you invite will not be invited for any other projects via our platform. Invite or delete testers at any point in time and maintain full control over customer data. 

Invite your own testers to participate with two clicks

You can easily invite customers to participate in the test. Simply enter their e-mail address and name in order to send out the invite and instructions. Avoid no-shows by working with auto-reminders. 

Make use of our instructions and support

To avoid any confusion, we have detailed and localized instructions available that can be sent over to your testers. 

Automatic transcription and subtitles

All session recordings are automatically transcribed in the local language. By using the time stamps in the transcriptions, you can quickly jump to the corresponding fragment. Not fluent in the local language? Add subtitles to the recordings. 

Annotations and highlights

Either create notes whilst doing the session or do so afterwards by using the session recording. Select key fragments by creating highlight clips and generate a highlight video to summarize the most important findings. 

Usability metrics

Make use of our predefined usability metrics to interpret the findings. These include but are not limited to the task to completion rate, success rate, System Usability Scale (SUS), Single Ease Question (SEQ), Net Promoter Score (NPS) as well as the SUPR-q.

 
Example of the SUPR-q metric for UX Benchmarks.
