<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n- Each task in a five-second test is aimed at finding what first impressions the users get from viewing a picture, such as the design of a web page. According to\u00a0<\/span>research<\/a>, the first few seconds determine whether a visitor stays on a website. A task in five-second testing has the ability to mimic the same type of first-time viewing experience and help you get insight on what’s going through people’s heads when they see your design, website or product.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The tasks include a generic text that should work in most cases. (“Please look at the following image for 5 seconds. We will then ask you some questions.”) However, if a more specific text works for your case, we recommend that you make use of your ability to customize the text to your liking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Set the device frame if you’re testing mobile designs and the respondents on desktop will see what the design would look like if framed within the specified type of device.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The designs that you can import may be JPG\/JPEG, PNG or GIF and up to 5MB in size.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- To insert more tasks into the five-second test, click\u00a0<\/span>Add another task<\/b><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- By default, respondents can’t skip tasks. You can enable them to skip tasks by checking\u00a0<\/span>Allow respondents to skip tasks<\/b><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- By default, the pictures are shown to respondents for 5 seconds. You may customize the number of seconds. However, please be aware that beyond the first 5 seconds, the respondents may come with conclusions that they wouldn’t come to through natural observation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Show remaining time to respondents<\/b>\u00a0<\/span>, the remaining time may be shown to the respondents as a timer above the picture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n \n

- To move a task up or down on the list, simply drag-and-drop it to the desired destination. Alternatively, use the\u00a0<\/span>Move up\/down\u00a0<\/span><\/b>buttons under the ellipsis button<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- To show the tasks to respondents in different order, select\u00a0<\/span>Randomize task order<\/b><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The same logic applies to the order of designs. You can randomize the order of designs by checking\u00a0<\/span>Randomize designs order<\/b><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- To keep the first task static (e.g. to use it as an example), check\u00a0<\/span>Don’t randomize the first task<\/b><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- If the order of tasks is randomized, by changing\u00a0<\/span>Number of tasks to show to a respondent\u00a0<\/span><\/b>, you can show every respondent only a certain number of tasks from the total number of tasks available<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n \n
