There is no specific limit. Anyhow, we do monitor the learning process and your skills improvement. Many reasons may explain the test frequency :

• You have to remain spontaneous during the test,
• The amount of testers increases everyday,
• The tests we can send you depend on your profile and our clients' requirements,
• Your Testapic profile should be updated frequently,
• You should perform the audio / video try testing on the different devices (desktop, smartphone, tablet),

You can receive 2 types of test :

1. Survey Tests where you are asked to navigate on the website or app, answer questions and provide written comments,
2. Video / Audio Tests where you are asked to think aloud while navigating on the Website.

It may vary depending on the task complexity and the scope of the test. As an average, a test lasts for 15 to 20 minutes.

To execute the Audio / Video Test, yes you need a microphone (this source can be internal or external to your computer). You can get 1 on Amazon.

To execute the Survey Test, the microphone is not mandatory as you write your comments.

This is not mandatory but appreciated :) We always like your test when it starts with a "Hello !" Anyhow, the purpose of the test is more to gather your opinion and comment the proposed tasks. The tests remain anonymous. You can also fill fake information on forms to protect your identity.

Once you receive the email proposal, you can start the test. Your participation is not mandatory. Testapic reserves the right to send the proposal to other members. As an average, the availability of tests vary from a couple of hours to 3 days.

This is part of the remote tests ! If you get disturbed by a relative or the postman, you can pause the test and resume it then.

A tester should ideally :

• read and understand the tasks and instructions,
• comment his userpath and the interaction with the Website or the App,
• state his point of view with sincerity, whether it is positive or negative,
• be proactive and bring recommendations to improve the interface and the user experience.

Yes, our customer can decide to reject your test. In this case, neither Testapic or you will be paid. Here are the most common reasons for a reject :

• You have not reach the expected level of quality. For instance, for a sSurvey Test, it may be related to excessive spelling mistake, or answers that cannot be understood, or answers totally out of the task scope. For an Audio / Video Test, the reject can be due to a problem with your microphone (poor voice quality, excessive ambient noise, etc.).
  
• You have not followed the instructions or you have not executed all the tasks within the test.
  
• You have done a very brief or superficial test. In average, the tests last for 15-20 minutes. Some test may be longer or shorter. If you have executed the tasks very rapidly, it is possible and recommended that you explore the website deeper in order to report issues that you may encounter.

Each test has certain requirements such as the amount of users. It is possible that this threshold has been reached, before you decided to execute the test, due to a extreme enthusiasm of the users. It is common that the tests remain available for 24 to 48 hours (some of them for 1 week).
