Sneak peek
The Problem
After more than a year of Tasks being available for participants on Desktop, it was time to improve the mobile experience. We needed the participant to focus on the experience they're testing, not the Participate app.
Task-based testing on iOS was painful because of app switching.
Research participants forgot to return to the task window and complete all tasks, to tap start/stop task, messing up the playback timestamps and did not understand how to get back to tasks at all.
Objective
Introduce step-by-step tasks into our mobile apps in a way that is easy to use for participants, and makes sure researchers get helpful sessions where testers think out loud and complete all tasks.
