Calculating Sample Size for Task Completion (Discrete-Binary Method) ( 171 )

Sample Size Calculator for a Completion Rate ( 167 )
Use this interactive calculator to understand how the sample size changes will affect the confidence interval around a completion rate.

Sample Size Calculator for Discovering Problems in a User Interface ( 138 )
Use this calculator to determine the number of users you'd need to test given the probability of detecting a problem. If the probability of detecting the problem is unknown, this calculator also allows you to estimate the problem occurrence (p) from sample data.

Calculating Sample Size for Task Times (Continuous Method) ( 120 )

Confidence Interval Calculator for a Completion Rate ( 117 )
If you've wanted to provide a confidence interval around a small sample completion rate but just didn't have time to do the math, this calculator does the work for you.

Margins of Error in Usability Tests ( 105 )
The 20/20 Rule of PrecisionHow many users will complete the task and how long will it take them? If you need to benchmark an interface, then a summative usability test is one way to answer these questions. Summative tests are the gold-standard for usability measurement. But just how precise are the metrics?

Graph and Calculator for Confidence Intervals for Task Times ( 94 )
Visualizing your task time data is an essential step in understanding its distribution and computing accurate confidence intervals. This calculator creates a dot-plot of your task times, transforms the raw data to adjust for non-normality and computes the intervals.

Deriving a Problem Discovery Sample Size ( 74 )
Side-bar to The Risks of Discounted Qualitative Studies:Shows the history and computation of deriving a sample size for discovering problems in an interface.
