Description

Introduction of UI/UX Testing

This course is essential for evaluating the effectiveness of user interfaces and user experiences. By measuring usability and performance, designers and developers can make informed decisions on how to improve the design and functionality of a product. This course focuses on the key metrics used in UI/UX testing and how to use them to assess user satisfaction, task success, and overall product performance. By the end, participants will understand how to select, track, and interpret metrics to enhance both usability and performance.

Prerequisites of UI/UX Testing

• Basic knowledge of UI/UX design principles.
• Familiarity with usability testing concepts and methodologies.
• Understanding of common UI/UX testing tools and platforms.
• Familiarity with performance testing principles is beneficial, but not required.
