Q

Behavior Flow

A

Analytics | Analyzing how users navigate through a site or app.

17
Q

Funnels Analysis

A

Analytics | Understanding drop-off points in a sequence of steps (e.g., checkout process).

18
Q

Eye-Tracking Studies

A

Measuring where users focus their gaze and for how long, generating heatmaps or gaze plots.
Provides metrics such as:
1. Fixation Duration: How long users focus on specific elements
2. Saccades: Eye movement speed and patterns

19
Q

Multivariate Testing

A

Testing multiple variables simultaneously to identify the best-performing combination of design elements.

20
Q

Remote Usability Testing

A

Automated tools (e.g., Maze, UsabilityHub) to collect quantitative data on task success, time on task, and error rates.

21
Q

Session Replay Analysis

A

Reviewing recorded sessions of user interactions to gather frequency-based quantitative insights like:
- Errors
- Click patterns
- Abandonment rates

22
Q

UX Benchmarking

A

Benchmarking | Measuring the usability of a product against industry standards or competitors.

23
Q

Competitive Analysis

A

Benchmarking | Quantitative comparison of key performance metrics across similar products.

24
Q

Statistical Analysis of Open and Closed Sorting

A
  • Measuring agreement among participants on groupings.
  • Using tools like similarity matrices to quantify results.
25
Q

Tree Testing

A

Testing a site’s hierarchical structure (navigation or taxonomy) and analyzing metrics like:
- Success rates
- Time taken to find information
- Incorrect paths taken

26
Q

Quantitative Persona Validation

A

Using survey data or analytics to validate persona attributes, such as demographics or behavior patterns.

27
Q

A

Measuring the success rate of users’ first clicks on an interface and its impact on task success.

28
Q

Descriptive Statistics

A

Statistical Data Analysis | Mean, median, mode, standard deviation.

29
Q

Inferential Statistics

A

Statistical Data Analysis | Hypothesis testing, regression analysis, confidence intervals

30
Q

Correlation Analysis

A

Understanding relationships between variables (e.g., time spent vs. satisfaction)

31
Q

Keystroke Level Modeling (KLM)

A

Predicting the time it will take users to perform tasks based on interactions like typing and clicking

32
Q

ABN Testing

A

Expanding A/B testing to include multiple variations (e.g., A/B/C/D) to test different combinations

33
Q

Path Analysis

A

Tracking and quantifying user flows through a product to uncover common paths and bottlenecks

34
Q

Task Load Index (NASA-TLX)

A

A quantitative measure of perceived task difficulty using weighted scales across factors like mental demand, physical demand, and performance

35
Q

Quantitative Feedback from Interviews

A

Collecting structured ratings alongside qualitative data in interviews (e.g., rating satisfaction on a scale of 1-10)

36
Q
