Employing UX Research Methods To Create User-Informed Text
summary
Describes using concrete methods to make interface copy testable: rapid iterative testing lets teams ship a dozen headline iterations in a month (seven participants per session) to fix comprehension on an identity-edit screen that now ships live; ethnographic field visits surface real user vocabulary and change Google+ branding to people content and conversations; 7,000 survey responses plus an A/B experiment (about 1% A/B sample on desktop for a month) identify the share string that increases clicks; reaction cards and heuristics find confusing labels and guide lightweight fixes.
