Decide whether to test a prototype, website, or app on the UserTesting platform with your testing goals in mind. |
This article applies to: UserTesting
On this page:
Test a prototype
Choose the prototype option when...
- You have a sketch, wireframe, or semi-functional prototype.
- You want participants to provide feedback on the design (the labeling, organization, and navigation) by describing what they expect to see or happen.
- You wish to use secure prototype hosting by uploading a .zip file of your prototype.
What to know about testing a prototype
- The prototype test option notifies participants that the design is semi-functional, that they may run into problems, and that they are to comment on what they expect to see when navigating the site or app.
- If using a prototype tool (e.g., Figma or Axure), you'll upload the HTML CSS and other assets when building the test plan. Note: This feature is not available on all accounts.
