Usability testing features by device
Dscout offers several options for conducting a usability test. For example, you can choose to run your test on a desktop or mobile device. And when testing on mobile devices, you can record using an in-app view (recording only in the Dscout app) or an external view (recording everything on a participant's screen even outside the Dscout app).
Here's a breakdown of what features are available across these devices and recording options:
