Section 1 - Defining UX research

Put simply, UX research involves investigating the behaviours, perceptions, and needs of consumers in order to better understand how they interact with a product or service. More specifically, for companies in the digital space, it provides valuable insight about how the design of a website, app, or software might affect how people use it.

Through a unique process, UX research should not be isolated from UX design and other product development tasks. In fact, companies perform best when UX research is integrated throughout a product’s entire lifecycle. This is because UX research, when done properly (read: thoroughly), sheds light on consumer behaviour, sparks innovation, and substantiates decisions with both qualitative and quantitative data. Plus, by putting the user front and centre, UX research helps build brand confidence, save costs by identifying problems early on, and ultimately increase revenue.

And it’s not just the business that sees a significant return on investment. A comprehensive approach to UX research benefits key stakeholders, back-end users, and customers alike; it results in simpler products and experiences and ensures that everyone shares a common vision, regardless of where they fall on the producer-consumer spectrum.
