Cux – Innovating Testing Trends

For instance, businesses don’t realize why website visitors don’t convert into paying customers. Well, there could be several issues triggering such an occurrence like unattractive UI, complicated webpage view, or long response time.

Tackling such issues and tracking website visitor behavior thus became an area of interest for most organizations. And to simplify working in the area, several tools were created.
