    Study Notes

    Validation and Testing Methods

    • Validation in UX design ensures the design meets project goals and user needs, confirming if the right problems are being solved. Feedback from users, stakeholders, and other relevant parties are common.
    • Testing focuses on identifying specific issues in a design to improve usability and overall user experience. This involves finding gaps between the intended design and user interaction. Testing aims to catch problems hindering user goals.

    Usability Testing Methods

    • Usability Testing: Observe users interacting with early design versions to identify issues and collect feedback.
    • Surveys & Questionnaires: Gather general opinions and preferences from a larger user base.
    • A/B Testing: Compare two versions of a design to determine which performs better based on engagement or conversion metrics, providing quantitative data.
    • Prototyping: Create a simplified, interactive representation of a product's design for evaluating functionality, usability, user experience.
    • Focus Groups: Conduct structured discussions among a small group to gather feedback on a product, design, or concept.
    • Card Sorting: Understand how users categorize and organize information within a product. This method gauges how users expect elements to be grouped. This is a usability test method to understand how users organize information.

    Usability Testing Process

    • Participants: Assigned tasks that show abilities to complete the tasks and areas for design changes
    • Types: Usability testing combines qualitative and quantitative data to evaluate the user experience.
    • Location: Can be conducted in various settings from conference rooms or remotely from home offices.
    • Moderators: Lead usability tests using predetermined tasks to identify flaws in design when users struggle with the tasks.
    • Data: Focus on specific questions to ensure precise results. Testing data is gathered, analyzed, and used to determine appropriate action.

    Qualitative vs. Quantitative Data

    • Quantitative: Numerical data analyzed statistically, offering objective insights to a large population, like calculating the percentage of users encountering issues with a product feature.
    • Qualitative: Non-numerical descriptive data which reveals deeper insights into why users face challenges. It does not offer statistically significant results.

    Moderation Techniques

    • Concurrent Think Aloud (CTA): Testers vocalize thoughts while performing tasks. Allows moderators to hear thoughts in real-time.
    • Retrospective Think Aloud (RTA): Testers recall thoughts after completing the task, sometimes with video support. Offers more detailed recall but may have recall challenges.
    • Concurrent Probing: Using "why" questions to elicit real-time insights. Quick.
    • Retrospective Probing: Asking detailed questions after completion to provide more clarity on user actions. Allows for more detailed insights but relies on user memory.

    Best Practices for User Testing

    • Clear Objectives: Establish clear goals for testing.
    • User-Centered: Prioritize user needs and behaviors, evaluating demographics.
    • Diverse Participants: Include varied demographics in testing.
    • Early & Iterative: Begin testing early and make iterations based on feedback.
    • Realistic Scenarios: Create tasks in test scenarios that mirror "real-world" usage.
