Things to consider

• When launching an app test, point the participant to the app they need to download.
• Some versions of prototyping software provide password protection. The password can be provided in a task and changed once the test is completed.
• Always indicate if prototypes or mockups are being tested. This ensures participants understand and provide intended feedback.

 

 

Axure

• Paste your prototype's quick link as the URL to start the test.

 

 

Flinto (Lite/Mac)

• Flinto for Mac mobile prototypes is only accessible on iOS devices.

• Make sure to inform participants of the need to download the app in the screener and provide instructions.
