Question:- How do you conduct the UX evaluation of a product?
Answer:- As a UX Designer, you need to know how to conduct a UX evaluation for a product. You could have your favorite methods or techniques that you prefer. You can mention them here. Some UX evaluation methods are given below: • Aesthetics scale – This method identifies the aesthetic quality of websites. It defines the two dimensions of user perception – classical aesthetics and expressive aesthetics. • Audio narrative – In this method, users narrate their experiences in the form of a story. This story is recorded. • Controlled observation – People are called to a controlled environment where they test the colors or audio of the system. The data is collected in the form of facial expression videos, etc. • Emotion cards – Users are asked to test web or mobile applications where they are provided with cards. These cards would either have a preset emotion on them or it’s just a blank field. Users fill them in when they use the product. • Living lab method – In this method, research is conducted on the behavior of users in their natural living environments. This helps in understanding the process of making technologies that respect life’s complexities. • Product Personality Assignment – Users go through some product designs and answer a questionnaire assigning different personalities to each design. They also have to explain the reason behind their decision.

It can combine multiple data sources to provide really helpful reports. • KISSmetrics – It is useful in creating reports and funnels based on customer behavior. Some KPIs to consider are: • Task success rate – The task success rate helps you measure the number of correctly executed tasks. • Time-on-task – This describes the time that a user spends on completing a task. • User error rate – This is the number of times a user makes a wrong entry.
Question:- What are the key differences between designing for desktop and mobile?
Answer:- The interviewer wants to make sure you’re aware of the design differences between desktop and mobile. You can discuss the following differences: Screen size – There is an obvious difference between the screen sizes for desktop and mobile. That affects the layout design. Desktop apps can support fixed navigation bars while mobile apps have to be limited to pull-out menus. Interaction – While desktops can take full advantage of the cursor’s interactivity, mobile apps don’t have that feature. Users have to use gestures like swiping, shaking, or poking in mobile apps. Organizing content – In desktop apps, we can use the multi-column format offering way too many options in layouts and positioning. Mobile apps have to resort to scrolling. Functionality – Desktops are preferred for longer, more involved tasks while mobiles are preferred for quicker tasks.
