Beyond Usability Testing: Assessing the Usefulness of Your Designhawleymichael
Usability tests are meant to find usability problems. If your question is, “where are the usability problems in this design”, usability testing is right for you. With usability testing, can study how well someone can get from point A to point B and where are the problems along the way. Finding usability problems is the focus, and the method works great.
But, we are finding that many of the questions business sponsors and stakeholders have are not about finding usability problems. The questions they have are more about the overall usefulness of a design, its potential for success, and how well it meets expectations.
This presentation will define usefulness research, show how it is different from usability tests, and offer different approaches for asking the right questions of users. Whether you think this is slap-your-forehead obvious or a method that needs to be expanded and refined, we seek to have a lively conversation.
How to effectively implement different online research methods - UXPA 2015 - ...Steve Fadden
Are you the sole User Experience Researcher in your organization? Do you struggle to get timely research insights and feedback for your stakeholders? Online research tools offer practitioners the ability to gather feedback quickly and asynchronously, without the need for direct facilitation or moderation.
In this presentation, we provide an overview of some of the many online research tools that are available for gathering quick, asynchronous feedback on requirements, designs, and stakeholder sentiment. We offer general guidelines for recruiting, planning, implementing, and analyzing feedback, and then present how to use specific methods that have proven particularly useful for design and requirements research.

Generating Insights: Using Competitive Assessment to Shape Your Content StrategyLaura Blaydon
Most organizations today are facing an increasingly competitive global market, requiring greater brand and product differentiation than ever before. In this environment, assessment of competitor content offerings provides valuable insights that can be leveraged when creating near- and long-term content strategies.
Whether highlighting opportunities for creating new content, repositioning current offerings or completely overhauling content, competitive assessment enables content strategists to provide specific, targeted recommendations that can transform a brand and win the hearts and minds of consumers.
Methods and metrics for measuring the success of Enterprise Social SoftwareChristian Herzog
This presentation was hold on the ECIS 2013 on the paper "METHODS AND METRICS FOR MEASURING THE SUCCESS OF ENTERPRISE SOCIAL SOFTWARE – WHAT WE CAN LEARN FROM PRACTICE AND VICE VERSA".
Abstracht: With Enterprise Social Software (ESS) being increasingly used for internal communication and collaboration, an important question is how their success can be measured. In this paper we contribute to answering this question by investigating which methods and metrics organizations are currently applying for measuring ESS success. To do so, we have conducted 26 interviews with persons responsible for the deployment and use of ESS in their company. We found that measuring ESS success in the studied companies mainly focuses on the analysis of usage. We attribute this to the fact that ESS is primarily characterized by an abundance of user-generated content that can be easily analyzed. At the same time, companies still face difficulties in the evaluation of the business value of the platforms. We attribute this to some characteristics of ESS that we will discuss in this paper. Our study is supposed to provide a comprehensive overview of the methods and metrics applied in practice to measure ESS success.
Presentation by John Yesko at the 2011 Information Architecture Summit (IA Summit) entitled: "The User Experience Brief: The What and Why Before the How."
We IAs spend a lot of time discussing the “core” documents in information architecture—wireframes, site maps, prototypes. But we often jump into these very tactical, design-oriented deliverables too hastily.
The user experience brief takes on a more strategic role. Early in the project, it’s our vehicle to summarize what we know so far, particularly requirements and research results. More importantly though, it lays the foundation for the UX design approach, with the goals of gathering consensus and identifying sticking points early on. The user experience brief illuminates the organizing principles—user experience fundamentals to be followed and referenced throughout the project.
We’ll talk about the value of this early-project document, its role in shaping the user experience approach, how its composed, and its limitations. We’ll look at a number of great visual examples too. Introduced the right way and at the right time, the UX brief can be an invaluable stake in the ground with clients and internal stakeholders.

How can User Experience and Business Analysis work well together?User Vision
UX and business analysis – achieving the benefits of a close relationship
Many UX professionals cross paths with business analysts in the course of delivering projects. Both professions define and apply requirements, though typically one leans toward user requirements and the other toward business requirements. However these worlds often converge, especially as more organisations realise the business value of focusing on customers through user research and user-centred design. It is perhaps inevitable that these two professions, increasingly valued for customer-oriented projects, occasionally have overlapping remits which may lead to either internal friction or positive outcomes.
In this session we explore the areas of similarity, difference and potential collaboration in the respective fields of user experience and business analysis.
We will co-present the briefing with Sarah Williams, a senior business analyst and UX practitioner with leading law firm Linklaters who has successfully integrated the fields and evangelised the UX and service design approach for many internal and client-facing projects. Sarah and Chris Rourke from User Vision will discuss the goals and perspectives of the two fields and where the greatest opportunities are for knowledge transfer and co-operation for successful project delivery.
The talk will be especially of interest for UX professionals working alongside BAs, Business Analysts wanting to know more about user experience and service design, or anyone managing teams that have either or both of these important roles.
In this advanced business analysis training session, you will learn RPA. Topics covered in this session are:
• What is RPA?
• Making Office Productive
• Consequences

How to use your data science team: Becoming a data-driven organizationYael Garten
Talk given at Strata Hadoop World conference March 2016.
http://conferences.oreilly.com/strata/hadoop-big-data-ca/public/schedule/detail/48305
In this talk we review the culture, process and tools needed for a data driven organization. We review an example of how companies like LinkedIn use data to make business decisions, and then walk through the culture, process, and tools needed to foster this. We review the spectrum of data science used within an organization and explore organizational needs, such as the democratization of data via self-serve data platforms for experimentation, monitoring, and data exploration, as well as the challenges that come with such systems. Participants leave this session with the ability to identify opportunities for data scientists to contribute within their organization and with an understanding of what investments are needed to drive transformation into a data-driven organization.
Usability testing (or user testing) involves measuring the ease with which users can complete common tasks on your website. The results of the analysis are a huge eye-opener and their implementation often leads to:
Increased sales and task completion and a high rate of return site visitors
A greatly improved understanding of your customers’ needs
A significant reduction in call centre enquiries

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.
Encryption in Microsoft 365 - ExpertsLive Netherlands 2024Albert Hoitingh
In this session I delve into the encryption technology used in Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Purview. Including the concepts of Customer Key and Double Key Encryption.
In his public lecture, Christian Timmerer provides insights into the fascinating history of video streaming, starting from its humble beginnings before YouTube to the groundbreaking technologies that now dominate platforms like Netflix and ORF ON. Timmerer also presents provocative contributions of his own that have significantly influenced the industry. He concludes by looking at future challenges and invites the audience to join in a discussion.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

6. Let’s start with a poll
Do you have a single place where UX data is presented to stakeholders AND
those stakeholders can access is later?
7. What is the current state of the union for user research?
8. Current State of the Union
What should we
design/build?
UX research answers one of two questions.
Did we design it
right?

UX research falls into one or more of these areas on the PDLC.
10. Current State of the Union
UX research usually looks like one of these models in organizations.
Shared Service for Org
• One central UX group that serves the organization
• Research requests usually come ad hoc from prod
teams.
• Sometimes UX team will determine their own work
based on strategic needs.

Deeply Embedded with Dev
• Many UX people/groups that may collaborate but they all serve
different parts of the organization and can work independently
• Research requests come on a cadence that matches the
development cadence. Usually more tactical.
11. Current State of the Union
UX research usually looks like one of these models in organizations.
Shared Service with Embedded
• One central UX group that serves the leadership and support individual UX
researchers embedded with product teams.
• Research requests are more strategic in nature focused on big organization
wide questions.
• Central UX may act as consult to product UX.

12. Current State of the Union
Irrespective of where in the PDLC you do research and what organization model
you follow for UX research, we are all trying to do the same thing…..
Grow UX research practice within
the organization.

13. Current State of the Union
Guiding principles to grow UX research practice within the organization.
• Have a vision / value prop statement
• Establish a consistent UX measurement (ie: Universal Measures)
• Establish a consistent way to deliver UX data
• Penetrate into process (PDLC)
• Be the behavioral data powerhouse (cadence & rigor)
• Integrate with the experience data stack
• Make your awesome work known!
