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.
