Nothing replaces feedback from end users. But it is helpful to resolve as many issues as possible before you share your concepts with real people. Now, virtual users can help find issues before you go live.

Run virtual user tests in Aha! Builder to identify opportunities to improve your proof of concept or application — guided by the job to be done and target persona.

Test before you deploy #

Aha! Builder makes it possible to turn an idea into a proof of concept or application with help from Elle, a powerful AI assistant. Before you share what you built, you want confidence that key workflows make sense, important tasks are easy to complete, and small issues do not become someone else's first impression.

Virtual user testing gives you an objective starting point: a way to catch what you might miss when reviewing your own work. It works like this:

Define the job to be done: Focus the virtual user on a specific workflow or scenario.Choose an optional persona: Test from the perspective of a particularcustomer or user type.Review structured feedback: See what is working well and where there is room to improve.Turn feedback into action:Create ideasfrom the findings, or ask Elle to help implement changes right away.

As you make changes, run another virtual user test to see whether the fix resolved what the last one flagged. It is a fast way to check progress between iterations.

Virtual user testing is now available for Aha! Builder customers on the Team and Scale plans. Start a free trial to explore it yourself, or join a demo to see how it works.
