Low Cost Web Testing
What to do for rapid web testing turnaround
We have a pool of gifted user testers: people who can use a website and uncover major problems, using years of experience on the web in professional capacity.
They clearly articulate their thoughts while they browse your site, and don’t require a facilitator to ask them questions - truly independant testing by independant inviduals. Our ability to draw on such a large number of testers helps you in many ways:
- Bigger pool of quality user testers to select from. Our testers reside across the UK, and outside. We aren’t limited geographically to only people who can drive to your office.
- User tester needs less compensation. Traditional user testers have to drive to and from your office and stay there for an hour. That’s why they usually get paid £40-£50 per hour. Our user testers don’t leave their own computer, and their test sessions are shorter, so they don’t require as much compensation.
- Web-enabled. We use the web to remove some layers from the traditional user testing process, such as recruitment agencies that charge about £100 to screen each user (when we do it for free). And because it’s done over the web, you get your user test results in a day rather than a couple weeks.
- Trying to get the word out. We’re pricing it low to attract attention! To get this service:
- You contact us for user testing, specifying the demographic profile of your target audience and how many user testers you want. One user costs £25 per hour (+VAT), five users cost £100 per hour (+VAT). Book an hour, if that is all that is needed, or longer if your site requires it - you tell us what you need.
- We notify user testers. Our user testers will test and report on your site (with screenshots and/or video to illustrate).
- You check our bugtracking system. Each user will raise defects/enhancements on our bugtracking system, which will allow you to keep constant visibility of progress.
- You review the defects, which include specific functional and design errors, as well as:
- strengths - What they liked.
- weaknesses - What they didn’t like.
- What would have caused them to leave your site.
