Previewing Your Test Plan

At a Glance

Test Preview features in the UserTesting Platform allow you to view screener questions as well as the flow of tasks within your test. This article provides information on previewing a test and answers some common preview-related questions.

 

When to preview your test

Once you have created your test in the UserTesting Platform, preview it. 

  • Select the Preview screener button for each audience in your test to ensure that the questions are written clearly.
  • Having entered all your tasks into your test plan, select the Preview test plan button.

As you preview your test, make sure the tasks flow as expected, that the task wording is correct, and that all links function as you had hoped. Also, see this article on common mistakes to avoid.

After you preview and when you feel your test is ready, conduct a pilot test.

Walk through the test experience as a contributor without leaving your browser; no download is required. The preview will display your test for you to review scenarios, tasks, questions, and assets before launching it to contributors.

Note: The test preview does not record anything from your computer, and you don't need to have a microphone for it to work.

Please be aware that some contributors might be using a different screen recorder than the one shown in the preview. To learn more about our seamless recorder, please visit our Knowledgebase article.
