What is Usability Testing?
Usability testing is a way for real people to try out our platform and share honest feedback about their experience. By completing short tasks on Sunshine Meetings, you help us understand what works well and what needs improvement.
Your participation directly shapes how we build tools to make local government more accessible. Every test you complete gives us valuable insight into how residents actually use our platform, so we can focus our efforts where they matter most.
No technical skills needed. Each test takes just a few minutes, and your feedback makes a real difference for civic engagement in your community.
