In Unmoderated Usability Testing, UXArmy provides multiple task types along with a **Note (Task Instruction)** to help you guide participants and achieve your research objectives. You can mix and match different task types within a study.

UXArmy also supports **screen recording, gestures tracking, and audio feedback**, allowing you to observe how participants interact with your product in real-time.

> ℹ️ At UXArmy, we use the term ‘Task instruction’ to refer to the question or action you ask the participants to do or answer, to achieve your test objective. For surveys, task instruction is the survey question. If you want to test the usability of your prototype, you might ask testers to do something.

### **What is a Task Instruction?**

At UXArmy, a **Task Instruction** refers to the question or action you ask participants to complete during a test.

For surveys - It is the question  
For usability testing - It is the action participants need to perform

**Example:**  
"In this task, you will explore a travel website and book a hotel for 2 adults and 2 children from 10th to 15th December. Please speak your thoughts out loud while completing the task."
