Abstract

This paper introduces a cloud-based lab management and analytics software platform that we have developed for triangulated human-centred research. The solution is designed to support three main requirements: (1) It enables accurate triangulation of enriched UX measures; (2) It produces triangulated enriched measures in a timely manner; and (3) it helps to generate meaningful recommendations. The application supports the key activities that are required to conduct an enriched UX research project: (1) Designing the UX test; (2) Planning and scheduling the test; (3) Executing the test; (4) Post-processing and triangulating of the collected data; (5) Analyzing and visualizing of the data and; (6) Lab Maintenance. At the time of publication, the application is currently at technology readiness level (TRL) 6 and we are currently conducting beta testing in academic and commercial lab to demonstrate the technology an operational environment.
