Novák, Ondřej ; Buchalcevová, Alena (advisor) ; Šedivá, Zuzana (referee)
The main objective of this diploma thesis is to design an efficient methodology for testing and evaluating user experience of smaller web applications. The proposed methodology is based on understanding the issues of user experience testing of small projects, exploring the principles of current methodologies and analysis methods for testing and evaluating user experience. Based on the analysis, appropriate methods are selected and the methodology is assembled. Part of this thesis is verifying the methodology on a real project in practice in order to reveal its potential shortcomings. This thesis is composed of two parts. The first, theoretical part includes analysis of user experience issues and its testing, description of the methodology principles and the analysis of methods themselves. The second part includes the designed methodology and its verification in practice. Proposed methodology should be beneficial for small development teams or companies that have a need for testing the user experience, but do not have enough resources to develop their own methodology or purchase the methodology developed by another company. In practice, I was not able to find freely available methodology for testing the user experience, which would also be designed specifically for small projects.
