Abstract

Engineers are not usually confronted with empirical research methods during their education. Classical product developers thus lack knowledge and the intuition of what to consider when using methods in user studies. The problem is that user studies therefore miss potential development goals for optimized user-centered product design. To resolve these difficulties, a process approach and an in-depth guide have been developed. They provide knowledge, focused on psychology and social sciences about user studies along the ideally typical history of an empirical study in a structured, compact and comprehensible form. This enables product developers to more effectively and efficiently capture the needs of customers. At the same time, the effort required to implement user studies is reduced, errors are avoided and quality is increased. In the future, the process approach and the guide will be verified and validated.
