Guidelines for testing patterns on Ribblr
-
Testers must be able to apply via your tester call post
You may provide several ways to apply for testing, but you must also accept submissions via your tester call post on the community. The testing does not have to take place on Ribblr, although for the safety of your design we highly recommend it. (Learn more about our safe testing tools.) -
Designers may set a testing criteria
Designers may set a testing criteria such as a testing deadline, asking testers to add journal notes or share a finished make photo on a social media platform, and more. This information must be disclosed on the tester call post.
Designers may also determine how many testers they require, when theyāll pick them, and when to open/close their tester call. -
Do not apply to test if you do not meet the criteria
Please do not apply to test if you do not meet the criteria set by the designer.
If you arenāt sure, please ask the designer. For example - if you think you might not be able to finish before the set deadline then ask the designer if thatās okay. -
Communication is key
Both designers and testers are always expected to keep an active line of communications with each other in order to provide feedback, as well as ask and answer questions. Please be patient and allow the other party reasonable time to reply. -
Be respectful, kind, and supportive
Both designers and testers must stay respectful, kind, and supportive of each other and follow Ribblrās terms & conditions. Aggressive, violent or otherwise disrespectful behavior of any kind is not allowed and will not be tolerated.
If you feel that someone isnāt following these guidelines please avoid contact with them and reach directly to us.
