What your testers experience

No account, no task: what a DASHUND test looks like for a tester. · 3 min read

For your testers, a DASHUND test is like using an app, nothing more.

What they do

  • They open the link, on a phone, a tablet or a computer.
  • They use the prototype like a real product, full screen.
  • They have no account to create, no task to follow, no survey to fill in.

What they see

  • The prototype, and only the prototype. The browser tab carries the prototype’s name.
  • A discreet loading indicator: on mobile, Figma often takes 8 to 14 seconds to load a prototype.
  • On the Free plan, a small “Powered by DASHUND” mention below the prototype, without covering it. It disappears on paid plans.
  • If the DASHUND link is turned off or the prototype paused: “This prototype is no longer available”.

What counts as a session

A session starts when the prototype has finished loading, and ends when the page is closed or after 5 minutes without a click or a screen change. Someone who leaves while it’s loading is counted separately, as an “abandoned load”. Reloading the page within 5 minutes extends the same session; two open tabs make two sessions.
