According to the Entertainment Software Association, over 226 million people in the United States played video games of some kind in 2020. That’s more than two thirds of the entire population of the country. Some of these might be the prototypical hardcore gamer playing online via a console or PC, while others take a few minutes per day to indulge in a free-to-play mobile game on their phones. Is it any wonder, then, that aspects of gaming have seeped into so many other areas of life?

They can lead engineers, departments, and entire companies down the wrong fork in the road, wasting time and resources and delaying innovation. This is precisely where usability testing comes in.

Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart (an incredible old-timey name) is most famous for a particular quote. In the case Jacobellis v. Ohio, he and the other Justices on the court were being asked to, in essence, determine what constitutes obscene content, something that is notably subjective and difficult to pinpoint. In response to this seemingly difficult assignment, Justice Stewart came up with a rather simple, straightforward criteria: “I know it when I see it.” We bring this up because you could say the same thing about user experience, or UX.
