October 2024 product release
UserTesting's Oct 2024 release introduces NPS, screener branching logic, and enhanced global search features, helping you better leverage the UserTesting platform to find the right participants, access content, and enhance decision-making.
With benchmarking housed in a single platform, you can effortlessly compare performance metrics like NPS or customer satisfaction against industry standards or competitors without the need for external tools.
This simplifies data access and management while enabling you to proactively identify trends and adjust strategies to stay competitive.
Adding branching logic for screeners to UserTesting’s AI-powered surveys delivers faster, more accurate insights and higher-quality data.
Screener branching logic creates a more personalized and efficient experience that ensures participants only see relevant questions, reducing frustration, improving response quality, and lowering drop-off rates.
This streamlined approach leads to faster survey completion, quicker data collection, and more accurate insights.
UserTesting’s enhancements to global search help teams quickly find what they need, even without exact search terms, making it easy to access content and unlock value from existing insights, all while enhancing efficiency.
