What is a user testing?

A User Testing job involves evaluating websites, apps, or products by providing feedback on usability, functionality, and overall user experience. Testers follow specific tasks, share their thoughts, and report any issues they encounter. Companies use this feedback to improve their products before launch. Typically, no specialized skills are required, but clear communication and attention to detail are essential. Many user testers work as freelancers or participate in tests on a per-project basis.

What does a typical day look like for someone in a user testing role?

On a typical day, someone working in User Testing may participate in scheduled testing sessions, where they evaluate software, apps, or websites while documenting their observations and usability issues. You might interact with real users, observe their behaviors, and then compile findings into clear, actionable reports for design and development teams. Collaboration is common, as user testers often work closely with product managers, designers, and developers to communicate challenges and recommend improvements. The work can be project-based or ongoing, depending on the organization and the product lifecycle. Regularly encountering new products and interfaces offers variety and opportunities to continually develop your testing and UX knowledge.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the user testing position, and why are they important?

To thrive in User Testing, you need strong observational skills, attention to detail, and a basic understanding of usability principles or user experience (UX) concepts. Familiarity with popular user testing tools such as UserTesting.com, Lookback, or usability testing suites is often required; some roles value certifications in usability or UX research. Excellent communication, open-mindedness, and the ability to provide constructive feedback are valuable soft skills in this position. These capabilities help ensure that digital products are user-friendly, effective, and continuously improved based on real user insights.

Does User Testing actually pay you?

User Testing is a platform where individuals can earn money by providing feedback on websites and apps. Payments are typically made via PayPal after completing tests, and earnings depend on the number and complexity of tests completed. The platform is legitimate and pays users for their participation, often requiring basic computer skills and a reliable internet connection.

How do you become a user testing?

To become a user tester, you typically need to sign up with testing platforms or companies that conduct usability testing, complete profile assessments, and sometimes pass initial qualification tests. Having good communication skills, attention to detail, and familiarity with digital products can improve your chances of being selected for testing opportunities.

Job description

As a UX Developer, you know that the best implementations are easy and intuitive for real people to use and that the best designs can only have impact if they actually work.

> About Us

We’re a small company of overachieving consultants, taking on big challenges for our clients. We build web applications, mobile applications and application solutions for a wide range of clients, with a focus on the public sector. We use a team-based approach, with teams consisting of designers, software developers, quality assurance engineers and project managers. This allows us to provide the full lifecycle of project delivery to clients from initial concept consulting to final implementation.

> About You

We’re looking for a talented individual who can combine the product vision from our design and UX teams with project technical requirements to produce high-quality deliverables. 

High-quality to you means:

  • visually accurate and appealing with a high level of attention to detail
  • high levels of accessibility
  • consistency both within the current project and with industry best practices
  • highly testable and tested
  • reusable to enable increased efficiency in the future

You are adept with the tools and technologies used to build modern applications for the web. Our current favorites leverage React, NextJS, React Native, PHP (Drupal CMS) and Angular, so extensive understanding of HTML, CSS and JavaScript is critical, and background with at least one of these frameworks is desirable. Of course there are a lot of tools that help building web applications UIs at scale so you’ll have familiarity with CSS preprocessors like Sass and LESS, CSS frameworks like TailWind or BootStrap and some familiarity with the various UI kits available like Material or Ant Design. With all these cool tools involved you probably want to manage them with module bundlers like WebPack and keep the javascript in good working order with TypeScript and linters.

Our projects are centered around our teams. We do more than speak the Agile lingo, we strive for a truly agile culture. A background of working with Scrum or Kanban is a plus but what’s really most important is having experience and willingness to work in a highly collaborative team setting. An important part of our team focus involves being able to coordinate work with the rest of the team. A valuable skill is being able to identify large blocks of functionality from requirements and design artifacts and break them down into suitable features and tasks.

As much as you have an eye for detail, you have an eye on the future. Application development is constantly evolving so we’re looking for someone to bring some new skills and capabilities to our existing teams. Whether you have an opinion in the debate between native mobile apps and PWAs or have A/B testing experience to bring a more data driven approach to decision making we value the unique perspectives you can bring to our existing teams.

> Our Why

We strive for excellence in everything we do. We value wisdom, curiosity, and a sense of fun.

Our work is meaningful. From providing easier and better ways for citizens to access state government information and programs aiding in a more informed and better served populace, to keeping pets and animals safe through registration and welfare tracking, to making vaccines available to people most in need- our software often has a direct benefit to people we’ll never meet. 

We are also very dedicated to the people within our organization.  We are proud to be consistently named one of Maine’s "Best Places to Work".

The benefits that we offer include:

  • 100% Paid health and dental benefits for employees
  • Health Reimbursement Account (to minimize out of pocket costs)
  • Flexible Spending and Dependent Care Accounts
  • Company matching retirement plan
  • Annual profit sharing
  • Flexible scheduling
  • Up to 25 days paid vacation
  • Free parking (you will love Old Port parking)
  • Friday happy hours
