User Experience (UX)

  • A key performance indicator (KPI) commonly used by UX designers is used to measure the success of a product or feature.
  • A heat map is a graphical representation of the areas on a product that receive the most user attention.
  • Eye tracking allows us to measure user eye activity and shows us where users look and in what order.

Agile Software Development

  • MVP (Minimum Viable Product) in product development refers to a product with just enough features to satisfy early customers and provide feedback for future development.
  • A/B testing is a method of comparing two versions of a product to determine which one performs better.

Mobile Apps

  • Hybrid mobile apps use a combination of native and web technologies.
  • Hybrid apps access device capabilities by living inside a native container.

User Representation

  • An avatar represents users online who have uploaded an image for themselves.
