UX TESTING METHODOLOGIES FOR EVERYONE
Mixed method user research
Choose from quantitative, qualitative, usability, information architecture, moderated, and unmoderated usability testing to get the UX insights you need to improve your customer and user experience.
METHODOLOGIES
Infinite possibilities
Our methodologies are designed to enhance user testing websites, ensuring an intuitive and user-friendly experience for all visitors.
Think-Aloud and Interview Style
Unmoderated Sessions
Participants are asked to complete a series of activities using their own devices in a natural setting. No moderator is present, so participants are able to naturally answer questions and solve problems.
Moderated Sessions
A moderator helps guide participants through a particular set of tasks or questions, probing deeper into the behaviors and pain points of the participant to yield more specific results.
Focus Groups
This conversational-style interview gathers 4+ participants, fostering spontaneous, free-flowing responses. Enlist our UX Consulting department for an additional cost to facilitate this engaging session.
Content and Copy Testing
A/B Testing
Using this type of testing allows you to compare and contrast two versions of an asset, such as a web page or elements of a web page, against each other.
Preference Testing
While being presented with two options at the same time, participants are asked to choose which of the options they prefer and to provide details on why they’ve made that selection.
5-Second Test
This form of testing is used to understand the initial impressions, perceptions and takeaways that a user immediately has after interacting with a design – within the first 5 seconds.
First-Click Testing
While being prompted to complete a certain task, a participant’s first reaction or click is tracked and noted, alongside how long it takes to complete that given task.
Exploring Information Architecture with Tree Testing Tools
Card Sorting
Participants are asked to organize words or themes (cards) into what they consider to be logical groupings (categories). This process, facilitated by tree testing tools, can be “open,” where participants create their own categories, “closed,” where categories are predetermined, or “hybrid,” a mix of both styles. Utilizing tree testing tools in card sorting results can lead to improved usability and intuitive information design, making your website more user-friendly and easier to navigate.
Tree Testing
Often referred to as “reverse card-sorting,” tree testing is a pivotal method used to evaluate a site’s hierarchical organization with the aid of tree testing tools. When prompted with a task, participants use these tools to select the category and its subsequent pathway in order to locate a certain element on a page. This process highlights the number of steps needed to reach a desired page and provides crucial information on how logical and intuitive a website’s hierarchy is, thanks to the insights offered by tree testing tools.

Quantitative Usability Testing
Customer Research Surveys
Surveys and survey style questions are used to ask direct, pointed questions, and can be applied individually or in combination with other usability methods. They provide efficient and scalable data, offering quantitative insights for informed decision-making.
Net Promoter Scores (NPS)
An NPS helps measure the likelihood of a customer recommending a brand. Participants use a scaling system to place themselves between 0 and 10, with ten being very likely to recommend a brand. This results in a net percentage score.
System Usability Scale (SUS)
Presented as a 10-part questionnaire, a SUS helps provide instant feedback on usability. Responses range from strongly agree to strongly disagree, with questions pointing to the overall customer experience and product usefulness.
