Who This Book Is For

Big data analytics (quantitative) professionals who want to learn more about the qualitative side of analysis; UX researchers, usability testers, and UX designers (qualitative professionals) who want to know more about big data and behavioral UX analysis; and students of UX, UX designers, product managers, developers, and those at startups who want to understand how to use behavioral UX and usability testing data to optimize their websites and apps.Combine two typically separate sources of data―behavioral quantitative data and usability testing qualitative data―into a powerful single tool that helps improve your organization’s website by increasing conversion and ROI. The combination of the what is happening data of website activity, coupled with the why it’s happening data of usability testing, provides a complete 360-degree view into what is causing poor performance, where your website can be optimized, and how it can be improved.
