"Significant Usability"
Are there any disadvantages of remote usability testing?
Our testing is unmoderated, which means you will not see the user’s various facial expressions and physical reactions as they complete tasks. But that kind of analysis is very subjective and very time consuming for minimal gain.
Instead you will receive hundreds of comments that users express straight after completing a task and in context of their success, failure or any other segment that your define.
The diagram below shows how the advantages outweigh a minor limitation.
