Once you know how something works you cannot accurately imagine not knowing, which is why teams misjudge their own interfaces.
Cognitive bias · Judgement
People seek and weight evidence that supports what they already believe, which quietly corrupts research findings.
Cognitive bias · Research integrity
The widths at which the layout changes, chosen from where the content breaks rather than from a device list.
UI foundation · Layout
Watching people attempt real tasks, which is the most direct evidence available about whether a design works.
Research method · Evaluative
Measuring where people click first, which predicts task success better than almost any other single measure.
Research method · Evaluative
Showing a design briefly and asking what people remember, which tests hierarchy and clarity of message.
Research method · Evaluative
Fast, informal testing with whoever is available, which is far better than no testing and worse than proper recruitment.
Research method · Evaluative
Everything must be operable with a keyboard alone, which is the single most load-bearing accessibility requirement.
Accessibility · Operable
Software that reads the interface aloud, navigating by structure rather than by layout.
Accessibility · Perceivable
Checking the built thing against the intent, before release rather than after.
Workflow · Practice
A structured assessment against WCAG, combining automated tooling with the manual testing that finds most real problems.
Workflow · Practice
Choosing how finished a prototype needs to look, which is decided by the question you are asking rather than by taste.
Workflow · Practice
Using a model alongside automated tooling, which extends coverage a little and does not approach a real audit.
AI workflow · Evaluation
A session script with tasks phrased as goals, and moderator prompts that do not lead.
Template · Research
The standard toolkit for card sorting, tree testing and first-click studies.
Tool · testing
The most widely used automated accessibility testing engine, available in browsers and in CI.
Tool · accessibility
Detailed performance testing from real devices and locations, with filmstrips that show what the page looked like while it loaded.
