artwork was used by the author on page! Tough reading: this book requires strong statistics background to be fully understandable and useful to the reader, Good entry point for those who are looking for pointers into the quantitative side of user research, The main controversies regarding user research methods are robustly addressed, mostly based on recent developments in statistics that support ex, the validity of small samples in usability testing, There's also a good overview and comparison of questionnaires,

I missed a more practical and condensed set of guidelines for statistics laymen that one could use directly in everyday tasks, If you haven't taken or grasped some decent Stats courses, you will still learn but not as much as you would with understanding of statistics, Will also most likely require second reading for most of us, A great book for understanding how to reason with small sample sizes in user research, This book provides wellwritten instruction on the practical aspects of quantitative analysis in user research, Having a course or two of collegelevel stats is helpful for understanding the content, I appreciated the examples, the history and background for some of the conventions, and I was glad to see some controversial statistical issues handled in a very evenhanded way.
AlsoI hope you like reading about confidence intervals because the authors evidently love writing about them and calculating them,

too, It's a shame that I was just about finished my certificate program in applied stat when this came out, It's really all I needed to know to add great quantitative analysis to my UX research! I hate statistics, so my rating of this book would be/, But that's a silly thing to do, I just read this entire book for class and feel like it should count towards my Goodreads total, gt: It's fairly decent, nice reference points for measuring user experience, but it is very mathy, So depends on the reality of what you need in a workplace, and how much you want to emphasise quantitative measures of success versus qualitative measures in your organisation.


In the reality of most organisations I've worked in, it's mostly qual, and in as far as you get with quant, you can do with the HEART framework.


I think is a good reference book to have in the bookshelf when you know that you will have to measure success in metrics, . . and perhaps if your role is focused on pure User Research,

I think some of these things mayyy just be a bit old school, but still very useful! It explains well and so practical, I would be gladder if it was explained statistics more basicly Quantifying the User Experience: Practical Statistics for User Research offers a practical guide for using statistics to solve quantitative problems in user research.
Many designers and researchers view usability and design as qualitative activities, which do not require attention to formulas and numbers, However, usability practitioners and user researchers are increasingly expected to quantify the benefits of their efforts, The impact of good and bad designs can be quantified in terms of conversions, completion rates, completion times, perceived satisfaction, recommendations, and sales,

The book discusses ways to quantify user research summarize data and compute margins of error determine appropriate samples sizes standardize usability questionnaires and settle controversies in measurement and statistics.
Each chapter concludes with a list of key points and references, Most chapters also include a set of problems and answers that enable readers to test their understanding of the material, This book is a valuable resource for those engaged in measuring the behavior and attitudes of people during their interaction with interfaces, .
