Benchmarking a website, app, or product is a valuable research method for understanding how design changes may or may not improve the user experience. Benchmarking is a critical step in quantifying the user experience and requires careful planning in the selection of metrics, tasks and study design to ensure you are optimizing around reliable data.

This 4 part lecture series will teach you best practices of UX benchmarking, common mistakes to avoid, logistics for desktop and mobile benchmarking, and provide guided practice for designing and analyzing a UX benchmarking study.

Participants will design their own UX benchmarking study and get practice analyzing benchmark data from an unmoderated remote testing platform (MUIQ).
