New Workspace Experience Streamlines Workflows and Insight Sharing Across Teams

A number of key workspace updates have been created to enhance the efficiency and performance of users. Curated workspace pages facilitate quick content discovery by providing individual users with better visibility and access to high-value, rich content through an updated view of tests, drafts, and highlight reels within a scalable and tailored experience. With these updates, users get a quick view and status of the most recent content in their workspace page, the ability to get back quickly to the most recent tests being worked on, and have newly generated highlight reels pushed to a specific workspace page. As companies scale human insights to more people across the organization, this new workspace experience helps users get to the critical customer moments and key learnings faster.

UserTesting has created hidden workspaces to give organizations and agencies greater permission controls, with the ability to provision workspaces by teams who require different levels of access. The hidden workspaces make onboarding teams and clients simple, while ensuring the right level of access and visibility is assigned to the right people. Additionally, organizations that manage sensitive information, such as in the healthcare or financial industries, can use hidden workspaces to limit access to only approved workspace members. These hidden workspaces provide easy collaboration, while controlling which users can access specific workspaces, creating communal environments where users with similar goals can easily share work.

Screener Guidance to Find the Right Audience, Faster

Now users can see which screener questions are slowing test fulfillment with the latest screener guidance feature. This takes the guesswork out of understanding screener criteria pass rates with notifications that help users find the right contributors and collect feedback quickly.

Improved Accuracy with Machine Learning

UserTesting continues to invest in machine learning capabilities to improve the accuracy of testing data. Machine learning algorithms efficiently analyze transcript content and detect relevant transcript data to sift out non-relevant transcript data. These capabilities also improve sentiment analysis and the application of smart tags to reduce the effort needed for researchers to analyze data. More accurate transcriptions and sentiment analysis means organizations can get the information they require more quickly to make business decisions that deliver better results with customers.

Gain Fast Feedback with Mobile Card Sorting

UserTesting contributors can now complete card sorting tasks via a mobile device with video capture, allowing researchers to conduct card sorts and collect results more quickly, capture more representative feedback, and ultimately make more informed information architecture decisions. With mobile card sorting, researchers can set up different types of card sorting tasks–closed, open, hybrid–directly in the UserTesting platform and capture feedback from mobile-first and mobile-only contributors. Including mobile contributors helps reduce bias and ensure more perspectives are included in card sorting research.
