Abstract
One or more embodiments relate to a method for refining usability testing through the systematic collection and analysis of user click paths within an online interface. By tracking and filtering these click paths based on one or both of publicly observable attributes and non-publicly observable attributes, obtained in part through user responses to screening questions, the method generates distinct, aggregated click paths. These paths are then subjected to in-depth analysis that yields insights and metrics regarding user behavior and usability. Some embodiments further extend to the presentation of an interactive representation of these paths within a testing interface that allows researchers to explore and extract actionable findings.
