Posted by usabilitysciences on October 8th, 2013

Online user testing keeps a record of your target users interacting with your site as they complete various pre-defined tasks. Their actions are recorded while they are performing these actions so that errors and confusions are clearly recorded. At the end of the test, a detailed report is provided by showcasing the key findings of the test along with important recommendations for fixing the most crucial usability issues. These recordings are given to each user so that they can identify problems and work on the same for their betterment.
