Screen-Sharing Usability Testing
Optimizing user interfaces requires observing real users interacting with your systems. Prolific Research provides professional UX and usability research services, helping product design teams, developers, and brands recruit target profiles, coordinate screen-sharing sessions, and audit usability task friction.
We specialize in recruiting niche profiles, including enterprise developers running APIs, system administrators using cloud consoles, and consumer groups navigating e-commerce sites. Our logistics team handles participant coordination, NDA signatures, and screen-recording setups.
We verify the background and qualifications of every UX participant before the session. We use phone screening, LinkedIn profile checks, and credential validation to ensure that participants match the target user persona and provide useful feedback on the design.
Task Completion Auditing & Friction Heatmaps
Our usability testing services focus on identifying design friction and tracking user interactions:
| UX Testing Area | Technical Action | Strategic Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Task Audit | Observing users as they complete specific tasks (e.g. registration, checkout). | Calculates task completion rates and measures time-on-task metrics. |
| Cognitive Walkthrough | Guiding users to share their thoughts aloud while using the interface. | Identifies confusing navigation elements and naming issues. |
| Friction Mapping | Analyzing where users click, scroll, pause, or make errors. | Highlights page sections that require design optimization. |
We deliver high-definition screen-recordings showing participant interactions alongside picture-in-picture face feeds, synchronized transcripts, and task analysis grids.

Yes. We configure usability sessions to test live websites, developer sandboxes, Figma mockups, or mobile app test builds.
What deliverables do you provide after usability sessions?
We deliver screen-share recordings, face-feed video clips, transcript files, and structured spreadsheets summarizing task completion times and error codes.
