The basics

Research

First click tests reveal how well users are able to find something (initiate the first step of a user or task flow). They indicate if something is wrong with the UX copy, location, or visual affordance of the tap target(s). If the user or task flow can be initiated in many ways, the most favoured one will become obvious.

Quantitative metrics include ‘time to first click’ and ‘success rate’, both of which can be tracked to help measure improvement over time.

Qualitative metrics include written feedback.
