Usability test builder
The usability test builder extends the survey builder with interactive task question types and prototype assignment per page.
Interactive task types
Section titled “Interactive task types”These appear only in usability tests (category Interactive Tasks):
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Goal-based task | Participant completes a defined goal on a prototype; success and path analytics |
| Free exploration | Open-ended exploration with tracking for a set duration |
| First click task | Where would you click first? — heatmap-style analysis |
| 5-second test | Brief exposure, then follow-up recall questions |
| Preference test | Compare two or more designs or variants |
All standard study content types (choice, NPS, matrix, etc.) are also available after or between tasks.
Prototype pages
Section titled “Prototype pages”Assign a prototype to a page so the participant sees the interactive embed during tasks:
- Add or select a page in the builder.
- Link a prototype from Assets & Media (Figma frame, ProtoPie flow, etc.).
- Place one interactive task on that page (only one interactive task is allowed per page).
Asset display logic
Section titled “Asset display logic”Pages and sections support Compare assets (asset display logic) — show different prototypes to different participants based on a randomisation variable or a condition (URL, sample, answers).
See Group comparison and routing for when to use compare assets vs section randomisation vs display logic.
Screener and qualification
Section titled “Screener and qualification”Use early pages with:
- Legal / consent content blocks
- Qualification logic on pages — disqualify participants who fail screener rules
Unqualified participants should see a thank-you or exit page without continuing to tasks.
Participant groups
Section titled “Participant groups”Groups defined at creation (or in logic) work with:
- Randomization variables
- Between-subjects prototype assignment
- Section-level branching
Preview
Section titled “Preview”The Preview tab uses TestPreview with prototype embedding:
- Verifies prototype URLs and Figma connections
- Prompts for recording permissions when enabled
- Simulates device constraints when Allowed devices is set
Public preview: /preview/{id} or /usability-tests/{id}/preview.
Build tips
Section titled “Build tips”- Task pages are task-only — one interactive task per page; no other blocks on that page. Put instructions on the page before the task (or in the task title/description) and follow-up questions on pages after.
- Add another page for each additional task.
- Test on the same device classes you allow in Configure.
