Remote usability testing is a way of testing a product or system with participants who are in a different location than the facilitator. It's still a usability test, but over the internet! The benefits of remote testing include being able to reach a wider audience, saving time and money on travel expenses, and being able to test in real-world environments where the participant would normally use the product. It's also convenient for participants, who can take part from the comfort of their own homes.

There are different methods of remote testing, such as video conferencing or using screen-sharing software, and it's important to choose the right method for your specific testing needs. There are also several tools available for remote usability testing, including Zoom, UserTesting, Lookback, Maze, UserZoom, and Optimal Workshop.

Before starting any remote usability testing session, the facilitator should ensure that the technology is working correctly, making sure that the audio and video quality is good, the screen sharing tool is working, and that any other necessary software is installed.
