Crowdsourced usability in the wild: Testing UXCrowd with Serengetee

Herd of elephants milling around

Usability testing is important, but it can be hard to make time for poring over hours of video data. Can crowdsourcing usability analysis solve this dilemma? This is the question we set out to answer when we built UXCrowd, a voting-based platform for letting the users themselves identify the most critical issues of a website.

We ran a test with 30 users to see if the crowd’s analysis of an apparel website called Serengetee matched up with the site’s real usability issues.
