Patent ID: 8719715

Claim:
A method comprising: identifying, by at least one processing system, at least one user response metric for use in evaluating user response to a first user interface for interfacing with a software application relative to a second user interface for interfacing with a software application, the first user interface having a user interface design that differs from the user interface design of the second user interface; making, by the at least one processing system, displays of the first and second user interfaces available for user interaction with the first and second user interfaces; collecting, by the at least one processing system, data from the user interaction with the displays of the first and second user interfaces, the collected data corresponding to the at least one user response metric; generating, by the at least one processing system, first and second values of the at least one user response metric using the collected data for each of the first and second user interfaces, a first user response metric value corresponding to the first user interface with its user interface design and a second user response metric value corresponding to the second user interface with its user interface design; determining, by the at least one processing system, whether the user response to the first user interface and the user response to the second user interface is the same or different using the first and second values of the at least one user response metric.
