  • Patent number: 11676183
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for providing adaptable testing and benchmarking of user experiences with respect to one or more products. In some embodiments, the techniques include systems and methods for predicting performance of facets of a user experience under new testing and benchmarking methodologies. The systems and methods may generate a prediction for the results of a UX test even though the methodology and mechanics to quantify the user experience may vary significantly from previous methodologies. The techniques allow for methodologies to evolve over time without losing historical context or the ability to meaningfully compare historical test results with tests run using updated testing and benchmark models. Further, the techniques allow for benchmarks to be computed in real-time or near real-time as methodologies change without requiring tests to be run according to the new methodologies.
