About URL task assets

  • A URL asset can be used during your mobile or web test whenever you want the contributor to be taken directly to a new URL.
  • This helps streamline the testing experience and ensures contributors can easily follow the test plan when it includes additional URLs.

 

 

When to use URL assets

  • Useful for testing websites, prototypes, landing pages, and web-based applications.
  • Useful for tests that compare multiple alternative designs.
  • In comparative tests, the goal is to understand customer preferences and make changes to provide the best experiences. 

Examples:

  • An existing webpage with newly designed options
  • Two or more existing web pages
  • A company webpage with competitor web pages

 

 

How to launch URL assets

  1. Create a new website or prototype test and select your audience.
  2. Set up the test scenario and the starting URL.
  3. Add tasks and questions to your test plan.
  4. At the point in the test where the contributor should review a new URL, click and drag the URL asset to your Test plan.
  5. A Launch URL field will be inserted into your test plan.
  6. Type in the URL you would like the contributor to review.
  7. This URL will automatically launch at this point in the test while the contributor is completing the session.

💡Note: Ensure the URL is accessible, provide clear instructions, and use follow-up tasks to collect meaningful insights.
