🚀 New feature

Today we're excited to launch a new addition to our user testing suite - Heatmaps!

Heatmaps show you an aggregated view of all clicks and mouse movements from your user tests, bringing another level of analysis into the performance of designs. You can also easily download heatmaps and share your results; ideal when presenting your research with stakeholders.

Heatmaps are available on all existing user test projects but if you’re creating your first one, it’s easy to get started.

Creating your test and inviting participants

1. Go to your dashboard
2. Click on Create Project
3. Click User Test
4. Enter a name for the project
5. Click Pick a project to select the prototype you wish to test
6. Select either Free Roam or Goal-based test
7. Click Invite participants
8. Click Copy to share the link to your test or click Send email

Viewing heatmaps

Heatmaps are automatically generated as soon as you start gathering test results. Simply click on the ‘Heatmaps’ tab in your user test project to view.

🚀 New feature

You can now quickly filter your project list by type (i.e prototype or user test). A little time-saver for those of you doing lots of user testing!

Click 'Show: All' on your project dashboard to get started.

Improvement

You may notice that Marvel looks a little different today - we've refreshed the interface to make better use of the screen real-estate.

There's now twice as much content visible and way less scrolling, great for those of you on laptops and non-Retina screens (Thanks for the feedback and letting us know!).

It also makes way for some very exciting new features - stay tuned!
