Tasksurvey

Tasksurvey is a term that can refer to a few related concepts within the fields of user experience research and software development. Broadly, it describes a method or tool used to gather feedback or gather data about how users interact with or perceive a specific task or set of tasks within a system or application.

In user experience (UX) research, a tasksurvey might be a questionnaire or interview guide administered to participants after they have attempted to complete a predefined task. The goal is to understand their experience, identify any difficulties, measure satisfaction, and collect suggestions for improvement. These surveys often focus on aspects like ease of use, efficiency, and the perceived value of the task completion.

In a more technical context, tasksurvey could refer to a feature or process within software that monitors and records user actions related to specific functions or tasks. This data can be used for analytics, to understand common workflows, or to diagnose issues. For instance, a tasksurvey might track how long a user spends on a particular step in a process or how many times they encounter an error.

The implementation of a tasksurvey can vary greatly. It might be a simple set of questions presented at the end of a user test, an embedded feedback form within an application, or a sophisticated data logging mechanism. The core principle remains the same: to systematically collect information about task performance and user perception.
