Usability testing fills a critical need in understanding users’ responses to your website’s UX, but the inherent subjectiveness of the video/audio feedback format means that it can be difficult to distill meaning from a large number of responses. Your testers are writing you a novel with their words – the plot is no secret, but what’s their underlying theme? Fortunately, a tool already exists to consolidate and synthesize individual testers’.. Read More
Updated usability demographics
We recently upgraded the software to support finer age-based demographics, and also “fixed” our notion of demographics on education and social networks usage. Previously, we only allowed the choices of the following very specific age groups: 18-34, 35-55, and above 55, which was fine for many users. However, we received several requests to allow our customers to fine-tune the age selection, for example, to only college age or above 50.. Read More

In our experiments, five seconds was really not much time to register a value proposition – it was just enough for the brain to register.. Read More
Prototypes, Wireframes and Live Site — Oh My!
That’s right! We rolled out some cool new features. Check them out, and let us know what you think. Prototypes & Wireframes When creating a new test in TryMyUI, you can now specify if the test is for a live site, prototype or wireframe. We will instruct the users accordingly to set their expectations. This is important to guide testers for quality feedback, since not everything will be functional on.. Read More
Providing a free test and asking for a credit card…
We provide a free test for new users. However, we do ask that the user have a valid credit card. Although we don’t charge the credit card (we simply make sure it’s valid), a couple of our prospective customers have been upset that we ask for a credit card at all. We agree that in the world of free, or even freemium services, it’s unusual to ask for a credit.. Read More
