    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.
