User Testing

Launch Notice

From Beta to Product: Previously offered as a Beta feature with limited functionality, User Testing is now launching as a comprehensive add-on product (Phase 2)

ProtoPie User Testing provides an environment where you can conduct usability tests directly on ProtoPie Cloud using prototypes with users.

User Testing goes beyond simple real-time observation by helping designers and researchers automatically gain quantitative and actionable insights:

• Test success/failure rates
• User paths
• Key error data

User Testing is currently available to Enterprise plan users and will be gradually rolled out to Pro plan users and above.

Key Features

1. Goal-Based Task Types

When creating a test room, you can select from three types of tasks to set clear success criteria:

• Exact Path: Participants must follow a specific sequence of interactions defined by the moderator. Useful for verifying efficiency of specific flows.
• Scene: Participants are successful if they reach a predefined final scene, regardless of the path taken. Suitable for open-ended tests.
• Free Explore: No success criteria defined. Users freely explore the prototype to evaluate general usability.

2. Automated Results Reporting

View automatically generated analysis reports in the test room's Results tab:

• Quantitative Metrics: Task success rate and average task duration.
• Path Analysis: Detailed metrics including number of participants, average duration, and invalid actions for each path.
• Top First Actions: Shows the most common initial actions taken by users.

3. Interactive Session Replay & Highlights

Participants' test processes are recorded based on events for rich analysis:

• Interaction Data Tracking: Tracks clicks, scrolls, taps, swipes, and double taps with detailed timestamps.
• Highlights: Moderators can create independent playback units from specific segments of the full session.
