Quantifying the user experience is the first step to making measured improvements.
One of the first questions with any metric is “what’s a good score?”. Like in sports, a good score depends on the metric and context.
Here are 10 benchmarks with some context to help make your metrics more manageable.

The editors at WardsAuto have published their list of 10 new vehicles delivering the best “user experience” — a combination of driver assistance, smart phone connectivity, voice recognition and controls — and that list includes vehicles from Audi, BMW, Chevrolet, Ford, Hyundai, Mercedes, Lexus, Range Rover, Subaru and Volkswagen.
“We’re seeing new approaches to questions that have plagued the auto industry for years,” WardsAuto managing editor Tom Murphy said. Wards evaluated 23 vehicles — all either new, or with substantially new systems.
Automakers from the U.S., Germany, Japan and Korea and vehicles priced from $40,705 to $101,095 made the list. Wards’s editors evaluate the vehicles in multidriver road tests.
German brands' strong performance is particularly noteworthy. For years, Audi, BMW and Mercedes relied on cumbersome rotary controllers. Those controls remain in some vehicles, but German brands have added user-friendly touch screens and voice recognition.

Good design tends to follow general principles that give designers overarching guidelines to work within. But for user experience and interface designers, there are also laws that govern the nitty-gritty. For instance, it’s helpful to know that the time it takes for a user to make a decision increases when there are more complex choices–known as Hick’s Law–or that because users spend most of their time on other websites, they want yours to work similarly to what they know–the premise of Jakob’s Law.

Still haven’t cracked the code on growth hacking? Don’t worry, it’s probably every bit as mysterious to you as the next startup – so don’t get discouraged. While the term has been around for several years now (since 2010 to be exact), the concept has not yet fully been grasped by everyone. Put simply, growth hacking is the ‘art’ of carrying out rapid experiments across marketing channels and product development with one constant goal – growth. Those capable of achieving this growth using both low-cost solutions and more unconventional marketing methods are referred to as ‘growth hackers’. Want to learn more?

As we move into 2018, it is safe to assume that there is no single serious mobile app company out there that does not understand the value and the importance of the UX designer.
With user experience being center stage for every contemporary mobile app, UX designers are faced with a daunting task of leading from the front rather than from the back. The everlasting need of being fresh, creative, to think outside the box and bend or break the rules where possible means that they will either need to create new trends or follow current ones – always.

While you may be able to recognize and appreciate the work of graphic designers, fashion designers, and architects in your everyday life, you may not think too often about experience designers. But user experience (UX) designers have a huge impact on the products most of us use every day, especially digital products like smartphone apps and websites. A UX designer is in charge of how you interact with a product and the overall experience: What features does it offer? When you click a button on an app or website, where does it take you? Can you find that button? How many clicks should it take to put in your credit card information or sign up for a new account? How easy is it to figure out how to share a link or invite a friend? It’s a UX designer's job to figure that stuff out.
