Usability Test
Unmoderated Remote User Testing
Participants interact with a site, app, or prototype to complete predefined tasks or scenarios unmoderated and unsupervised. Their actions are recorded via video, screen capture, or specialized tools, which may capture metrics such as success rate, task time, and perceived ease of use. Test materials are distributed remotely, and participants are recruited through online platforms or relevant forums.
