. Qualitative
research can help answer questions such as:
Why are users using or not using the feature?
What are their pain points, needs, and goals with the feature?
How do they feel about the feature?
What are their expectations and feedback for the feature?
How does the feature fit into their context and workflow?
Qualitative research methods can include interviews, focus groups, observations, diary studies, and
card sorting. These methods can provide rich and detailed insights that can be used to understand
the user experience and identify opportunities for improvement.
Both quantitative and qualitative research methods are valuable for UX design, but they serve
different purposes and answer different types of questions. In this case, the UX designer wants to
know if the feature was successful and track usability over time, which are questions that can be best
answered by quantitative research methods.
