Whether you work in a laboratory environment or an office, the user experience (UX) of the software you use has a huge impact on your job. It makes a difference to your overall productivity, how quickly and efficiently you can complete a task, and the enjoyment you derive from your work. Beyond that, well-designed software presents you with the right information at the right time so you can solve complex challenges and create innovative new solutions.

To make software that is easy to use and meets the needs of users, software development companies often conduct UX research — interviews, surveys, focus groups, usability testing, and ethnographic studies. This research can provide developers and designers with unexpected insights into how users actually use a tool. For businesses, the research helps them identify areas in the software where the user experience could be improved. For users who participate, it’s a chance to shape the products they use to better meet their needs.
