The so-called cognitive walkthrough (CW) is a usability inspection method used to test a product in a simulated use situation.\n<\/p>\n
The importance of usability and user experience has increased enormously since the early 2000s. At this time, product development also uses its own testing methods. The cognitive journey was a method developed in the 1990s in cognitive science, based on the understanding that people learn through discovery. Cognitive walkthroughs are created with the goal of design a program that the user<\/b> can use almost intuitively.\n<\/p>\n A cognitive journey usually takes place in four stages:\n<\/p>\n Here the typical user and entire groups are characterized and defined. The sample tasks and the path are then set to certain action sequences that the user must perform.\n<\/p>\n The expert verifies each individual step of a previously defined sequence of actions. In doing so, they question, for example, every user input from a piece of software.\n<\/p>\n Now the tester tries to detect possible problems throughout the operation. For this, they collect the necessary data, as well as questions about its use.\n<\/p>\n Possible indications for product improvement are taken from the analysis of the previous steps.\n<\/p>\n Like usability testing, CW is a method of testing a product's ease of use. However, it differs significantly from the second mentioned. Here, both methods are briefly contrasted to shed more light on the similarities and differences:\n<\/p>\n A cognitive tour can help you design a website or a program<\/b>. For example, these findings can lead to the buttons being repositioned. A CW can also help make the most of the content of a website, for example, by placing additional information on the web portal so that the user can find their way more easily.\n<\/p>\n The benefits of a cognitive tour are versatile. For example, the easy placement of items on the page can increase the time spent on the page. Therefore, in the broadest sense, a CW can also be part of the optimization of a page. At the same time, a website optimized in terms of usability leads to a better user experience and, therefore, more satisfied visitors.<\/b> The commercial web offers higher conversion benefits.\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" El llamado recorrido cognitivo (cognitive walkthrough en ingl\u00e9s, CW) es un m\u00e9todo de inspecci\u00f3n de la usabilidad que se usa para probar un producto en una situaci\u00f3n de uso simulado….<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","glossary-cat":[],"class_list":["post-69844","glossary","type-glossary","status-publish"],"yoast_head":"\n\nSimple steps and implementation<\/span>
