Often developers work in the dark when building new products for mobile apps and the Web. Even established apps and Websites need new product add-ons, and what seems like a good idea in-house, might not gain traction with users. When building new UIs or adding SAS products to apps, developers need feedback from real users so that they can validate their ideas. These types of problems plague developers from all spheres of ideation.
Ribbonapp offers a solution to user validation issues. The platform offers developers and businesses several methods whereby they can validate UI designs and new products before they launch. This type of valuable validation gives developers a heads up, and allows them to fix issues before they arise as problems.
The platform offers a simple method for developers to integrate user-testing directly on their apps or websites. Developers sign up for a Ribbonapp account and are directed to code-snippets, which they can add to their products in various languages such as JavaScript, C, Python, Curl andPHP. Once the snippet is added, developers can request information from Ribbonapp’s testers. Information can take two forms :
- Detailed surveys
Developers can set up surveys that request information on various aspects of their app, UI or Web product. These questions can offer multiple-choice answers, making it easy for both testers and developers to discover areas of difficulty or problems with their products.
- Video interviews
Developers can request a live interview with a tester.
The platform offers a free plan whereby developers can test 1 product & receive 5000 views of their product. For developers who need to test more than one product, there are paid plans. Ribbonapp allows developers to test new ideas quickly, to optimize core product flows and get a deeper understanding of their users’ needs.
