Computer Tests

Mobile Tests (using the UserTesting app)

You may be asked to participate in different types of tests through UserTesting. We want you to feel prepared to complete these other types of tests successfully. Below are the most common ones:
 

Computer Tests

These tests are completed on a Mac or a Windows computer. Most of the time, you’ll be providing feedback on a website.

Requirements:
 

PC:
Operating system: Windows 7, 8 or 10.
Memory: At least 1 GB of total RAM and 0.5 GB of available RAM.
Free disk space: At least 7 GB of free disk space.
Browser: Edge, Firefox, or Chrome (most recent versions suggested).
 
Mac:
Operating system: OS X 10.7 or higher
Memory: At least 1 GB of total RAM and 0.5 GB of available RAM.
Free disk space: At least 7 GB of free disk space.
Browser: Safari, Firefox, or Chrome (most recent versions suggested)
  
Length: 15-20 minutes
Payments: $10 per test
 

Live Conversation tests

In a Live Conversation, you'll speak to a customer in real-time using  Zoom video conferencing software. Live Conversations can be conducted via your computer or mobile device.

Length: 30-60 minutes
Payments: $30 - $60 per test, depending on length.



 

Mobile Tests (using the UserTesting app)

Love being on your phone or tablet? If so, this will be perfect for you! These are completed through our UserTesting mobile app, which is designed to be used on an Android or iOS device.

Requirements:
  • Must be on at least iOS 9 or Android 4.0
  • iPhone 5, 5c, 5s, 6, 6 Plus, 6s, or 6s Plus
  • iPad 3, 4, iPad Air, or iPad Air 2
  • iPad Mini or Mini 2
  • Most Android devices
Length: 15-20 minutes
Payment: $10 per test


Prototype Tests
Prototype (or wireframe) tests are websites or apps that aren't completely finished yet.  The developers are still tinkering with a concept for their site or app, and want to find out whether or not they're on the right track.  If something doesn't work as you expected, explain what you expected to happen and move on.

Requirements: None

Length: 15-20 minutes
Payment: $10 per test

 
           

Mobile Webcam Tests

For these tests, you'll use a stand-mounted webcam that we provide to record your mobile device.
Update: we no longer provide these webcams.


Requirements:

  • iOS or Android mobile device (will be specified on the test)
  • Our screen recorder on the computer
  • IPEVO webcam (no longer shipping these devices as of October 2017)
Length: 15-20 minutes
Payment: $15 per test
 

Recruitment Tests

Recruitment tests are pre-qualifying tests that you take to be considered for future special studies. Some recruitment tests require you to submit a video, while others are a simple survey. You may receive these in your "available tests" tab, or see them located in a blue banner bar on your dashboard. Please note that you aren’t paid for taking these types of tests, as they are merely to determine if you’re eligible for further studies. The following are some general types that you may become qualified for:

  • Moderated - We have moderators who assist and guide participants during a session. These are usually special circumstances that require more time to set up and take.  Since it requires more time, the payments are typically more.
  • Longitudinal - Also known as diary studies, these may be unmoderated or moderated and may last from a few days to weeks.
Length: varies, usually not more than 5 minutes
Payment: $0.  If selected for a moderated or longitudinal test, payment is typically $40 or more, depending on the amount of time you are asked to spend.
