Listening the Minds of the Beta Testers

The above title may seem a little odd, but it’s the best phrase I can come up with to express how I’ve felt when watching the user videos that usertesting.com have been delivering to us. Their testers are trained to speak their minds as they go about testing sites.

We purchased several test sessions from them as part of our private beta testing, and split the tests into two sessions. In the first session, the tester submits an itinerary. In the second session, the tester compares the bids he or she receives, and tries to book a lodging.

This video (click to watch) shows one of the picture-perfect tests we got from the first session. As you become immersed in the video, perhaps you will feel as I felt when I watched: as if I was listening directly to his mind.

  1. Left the comments on the wrong section. The video is a great training tool. You should highlight this for first time users.

    • Thank you Hugh. We have a surprise for Wednesday in reference to intro videos ;)
