14 Top UX Tools for Designers in 2024

3 days ago User Experience (UX) is one of the most important fields of design, so it should come as no surprise that there are a multitude of tools available to help UX designers succeed. In addition to the new tools that are released as dedicated UX design platforms, more traditional graphic design tools also offer UX features that close the gap between the visual and experiential aspects of product design.

X is Testing Variable Upload Quality Options for Video Creators

Another element of X’s pivot to video is coming, with creators soon set to be able to select the video quality that they want to upload in.   As shown in this example, posted by X designer Andrea Conway, along with a toggle to allow or disallow downloads of their content, creators will also be able to select variable upload quality, which could make it easier for people looking to get their videos up on the platform quickly, or in low data situations. Which could be a rare consideration of users outside the U.S., with many X users in developing markets still not in situations that enable them to upload full HD content, due to network capacity, data plans, etc. Though according to X owner Elon Musk users in these markets aren’t the main motivation. The lower resolution choices are for thos...

Stop Guessing and Start Testing: Improve Your Emails with A/B Split Testing

By Kaleigh Moore May 16, 2023 In a world where people are bombarded with countless emails on a regular basis, it’s more important than ever to craft emails with purpose. In 2022, over 333 billion emails were sent and that figure is expected to rise to a staggering 376 billion by 2025.These days it’s not enough to assume you know what type of email your audience will want to open — let alone read through it entirely. Creating great emails requires a lot of hard work, researching, and strategizing. The best emails are crafted not only with goals in mind, but also with the target audience at the forefront. So how can you be sure which email will be more successful than others? You’re not the first person to ask that question. What if there was a way to be sure that o...

Better Design and Testing for Mobile Viewport Madness

These days, every website we build must be responsive. With mobile web usage accounting for over half of all traffic, catering to these users is a no-brainer. Thankfully, foundational technologies like CSS and JavaScript have made this easier. Web designers no longer need nonstandard hacks or separate mobile templates. Modern layout and document object model (DOM) manipulation techniques allow us to build for all devices. Testing your designs on mobile, however, is a different story. Ensuring a pixel-perfect look on every phone, tablet, and hybrid device can be a massive challenge. It doesn’t help that mobile screen resolution is all over the map. In years past, there were a few outliers that defied the expected number of pixels displayed. But now it seems like every smartphone generation ...

Testing ChatGPT — An Interview of an AI Chat System | by David St Lawrence | Jan, 2023

I decided to discover what an AI chat system could do by treating it as a mysterious black box and asking it questions to see what it could do. I had previously read a number of articles and quickly got lost in the technical terms and the many disclaimers of what it could not be held responsible for.I asked ChatGPT questions for several hours and it answered them quickly and unambiguously and provided me with more data than if I had spent a day using Google to search the internet. I have selected just a few of the questions that show the power and limitations of this AI chat system. If the data was in the data set provided to the AI, the answers were amazingly complete. The catch is that there was no effort to provide the dataset with data that the current authorities feel is unworthy of n...

Testing in Local SEO: How Can You Do It and Not FUBAR the Business?

Like my post? Please share! We talk about ranking factors a lot, but not much about systems.  Your business’s local visibility depends on the ranking factors tilted in your favor, but you can’t get more factors tilted in your favor without systems that help you learn as you go.  Otherwise, you’ll be like a magician who tries to learn a new magic trick real-time while in front of a live audience. Whether you do your own local SEO or do it professionally for clients, you probably spend most of your time on how you measure and how you troubleshoot.  Those are crucial, of course, but they’re not as useful without two other systems that most people never develop: Ways to collect or create internal resources that you don’t have to rely on a third party for, particularly real-life examples of thi...

In this article, we highlight the main business reasons that make automated chatbot testing with Botium an essential and unmissable part of every chatbot project.Leverage Chatbots for positive user experienceNo matter what area the chatbot operates in, its main job is to connect and to communicate with people. In most cases these people are customers. The equation of success is actually the same for chatbots as for conventional customer lines: fast and efficient service. Although the technological advancements behind conversational AI are promising, the user experience is still lacking!Chatbots fail, and even the kindest, or funniest...

How to Start Testing Your Website with a Screen Reader

How to Start Testing Your Website with a Screen Reader

There’s no doubt as to the importance of building accessible websites. It’s a constant topic of discussion in the web design community. And, in my opinion, most designers want to get it right. Accessibility impacts all of us in one way or another. Whether it’s the particular words used in a blog post or the ability to navigate from page to page – it matters. But if you’re not someone who relies on assistive technology like a screen reader, there can be a disconnect. It’s all too easy to overlook how a given feature affects users. That’s likely because we haven’t tested it in that context. I admit that I’ve struggled in this area. And I’m betting that there are plenty of other designers who have as well. My privilege as a sighted user who navigates via a mouse hasn’t always led me to consid...

Continuous Speech Recognition Testing | by Florian Treml | Feb, 2022

From traditional IVR systems, still very common in customer service, to voice assistants on Alexa or Google Assistant — voice technology is nowadays part of everyday life, and it will continue to gain importance in future. The component stack of a typical voice assistant includes speech recognition and speech synthesis, apart from the usual conversational components like NLU (natural language understanding), dialogue management and NLG (natural language generation).Botium Box enables companies to implement a holistic test strategy for voice assistants on all levels of the component stack. This article focuses on the speech recognition part and shows how to build a regression test suite based on audio files, transcription files and word error rate verification.Continuous Speech Recognition ...

First steps in Chatbot Performace Testing with Botium Box | by Attila Ujj | Jan, 2022

One major pitfall of building chatbots is underestimating the importance of performance. The UI of a chatbot is usually very simple, so it’s easy to forget the complexity behind these virtual assistants. A slow chatbot might be accepted for home projects, but a company can not neglect it. Bad performance is a serious UX killer.Performance Testing is the key to ensure that your chatbot is responsive under high load. Worst case is maybe a chatbot that does not answer at all, because it was not able to recover after high load caused by clients or some Ddos attack.To collect some basic knowledge about the performance of your chatbot we suggest starting with a stress test. Stress testing basically means that we are starting with a small number of parallel users that gets gradually increased dur...

How to set up the fundamentals of your Chatbot Testing in 2 minutes | by Nikolett Torok | Oct, 2021

With the emergence of chatbots, many workplace roles have changed and in many cases new ones have been born. As sad as it is, but a conversational AI tester is not one of them (yet). Of course there can be several reasons behind this:Lack of resources (human, financial)Lack of expertise (knowledge in Test Automation)The general belief that Testing only comes in the picture after deployment (wrong)Management does not recognize the importance of QATherefore, Testing remains still in the background, as the “necessary evil”, which consumes resources and money.It almost does not matter what technical or role background we had, Chatbot Testing will force us to leave our comfort zone, build up extra knowledge and to learn new expressions and methods.We, at Botium, have decided to make things easi...

Testing SMS Chatbots with Botium Box | by Attila Ujj | Mar, 2021

Botium Box offers two methods to test an SMS Chatbot. It can act as a user sending SMS messages, or can interact with the API behind the chatbot. Sending SMS messages looks like an optimal choice because it covers all the stack, but it has a major drawback, the increased costs.For smaller systems sending SMS messages is usually a good decision. It is the all-purpose solution, and it is easier to setup.More complex chatbots can have more sophisticated configuration, API-testing all conversation branches, and SMS based testing for checking performance and availability of the full stack for example.Tip: If your API delivers NLP information like recognized intent and entity, then in case of API testing you can even use NLP Analytics in Botium Box (depending on license).There is no step-by-step...

4 DO’s and 3 DON’Ts for Chatbot Testing Strategies | by Florian Treml | Feb, 2021

A quick summary of 7 important DO’s and DON’Ts when designing a chatbot testing strategy. We are continuously seeing teams ignoring those actually rather simple rules.✅DO plan for iterationsIn german we say rome was not built in a day — same applies for your chatbot training data. A robust chatbot is built by multiple iterations, training and testing cycles and by ongoing monitoring and performance tuning: CODE, TEST, DEPLOY, REPEAT❌ DON’T underestimate the need for constant performance measurementWithout measuring performance with real user conversations, you will never know if your chatbot is really working for your users.✅DO apply the 80/20 rule for testing utterancesMost teams are tempted to use 100% of the available data for training. Do not do this. You won’t kno...

Security Threats and Security Testing for Chatbots | by Florian Treml

This article is pointing out security threats and attack vectors of typical chatbot architectures — based on OWASP Top 10 and adversarial attacks.The well-known OWASP Top 10 is a list of top security threats for a web application. Most chatbots out there are available over a public web frontend, and as such all the OWASP security risks apply to those chatbot frontends as well. Out of these risks there are two especially important to defend against, as in contrary to the other risks, those two are nearly always a serious threat when talking about chatbots — XSS and SQL Injection.Recently another kind of security threat came up, specifically targeting NLP models — so-called “adversarial attacks”.A typical implementation of a chatbot frontend:There is a chat window with an input boxEverything...

6 Tools for Rapid Cross-Device Website Testing

When creating a website, it’s vital to remember that not only does it need to work and look great on the device you are creating it on, but on all the other devices, it might be used on too. Mobile and tablet optimization is important not only for the user journey but from an SEO point of view too, and badly created mobile sites just don’t cut it anymore. With more and more devices entering the market, you need to check any website you create is compatible across the board. One bad experience and users are likely to leave and not come back again, which can be catastrophic for a business, particularly if it is just starting out. It’s vital to check how a site looks and behaves when browsed differently from how you would use it. A common mistake is to assume users only browse websites on mob...

Usability Testing for Voice Content – A List Apart

It’s an important time to be in voice design. Many of us are turning to voice assistants in these times, whether for comfort, recreation, or staying informed. As the interest in interfaces driven by voice continues to reach new heights around the world, so too will users’ expectations and the best practices that guide their design. Article Continues Below Voice interfaces (also known as voice user interfaces or VUIs) have been reinventing how we approach, evaluate, and interact with user interfaces. The impact of conscious efforts to reduce close contact between people will continue to increase users’ expectations for the availability of a voice component on all devices, whether that entails a microphone icon indicating voice-enabled search or a full-fledged voice assistant waiti...
