– Why is emotional design the secret sauce of a successful product? Because it stirs our inner needs and desires and that’s one of the strongest powers in product creation.

Usability Testing

Paul Bilashchuk, Senior HCI Designer, EPAM & UX Basic Course Curator, Projector.

Paul will talk about how to accurately test your design with small (but still statistically significant) samples and gather key UX metrics. He’ll also discuss why it’s useful to conduct a test session for both qualitative and quantitative research, including which vital metrics to gather and how to do it.
