Study Notes
System Usability Scale (SUS)
- A quick and cost-effective method for measuring usability.
- Uses 10 questions with 5 response options ranging from Strongly Agree to Strongly Disagree.
- Evaluates a wide range of products and services, including websites, applications, hardware, software, and mobile devices.
Tree Testing
- Evaluates the information architecture and findability of content within a product.
- Participants complete tasks using a text-only version of the site hierarchy.
- Useful for determining if users can find what they need within the site's structure.
- Validates ideas before design, provides insights into users' mental models, and evaluates labeling systems.
Card Sorting
- Helps understand how users categorize information and informs the structure of navigation menus.
- Participants group content items into categories using physical or digital cards.
Surveys
- Cheap and flexible method for gathering information about user preferences, attitudes, characteristics, and opinions on a topic.
- Questions can be included in emails, websites, or after usability testing.
A/B Testing
- Detects how different UI designs impact product performance.
- Designers create two versions of the same interface and show them to different groups of users.
- Commonly, only one variable is different, such as a CTA or the navigation bar.
- Cost-effective, simple to implement, and helpful for resolving team disagreements.
Quantitative UX Research Methods
- Collect numerical data about user experience.
- Require larger sample sizes.
Reasons for Using Quantitative Methods
- Objective Measurement: Enables the use of measurable data to uncover problems and formulate facts.
- Statistical Analysis: Allows for the use of statistical tools to examine relationships between variables and test hypotheses.
- Large Sample Sizes: Provides a broader representation of the population.
- Comparability Across Periods: Standardized measures allow for comparison across different groups and time periods.
- Predictive Capabilities: Can be used to predict future outcomes based on existing data.
Survey Question Types
- Closed-Ended Questions: Offer predefined answer options (e.g., Multiple choice, Yes/No), gather specific, quantifiable data, and facilitate quick comparisons.
- Open-Ended Questions: Encourage respondents to provide in-depth, narrative responses, elicit more information, opinions, and insights.
Consequences of Not Doing UX Research
-
Assumptions Can Lead To:
- Products that don't solve user problems.
- Products that are not user-friendly.
- Products that offer value but are confusing to users.
