在实地研究期间观察参与者的传统方法通常不太可扩展且引人注目。鉴于越来越多可用的智能手机和移动分销渠道的事实，例如苹果应用商店这种新兴的日志观测方法越来越受到关注。在本文中，我们报告了我们依靠日志记录方法以及普通移动智能手机的传感器在 Android 市场中进行用户研究的经验。根据我们的初步发现，我们确定了研究人员在进行市场研究时需要面临的主要挑战。
Traditional methods to observe a participant during a eld study are often not very scalable and obtrusive. Given the facts of more and more available smart phones and mobile distribution channels, e.g. Apple App Store, the emerging logging observation method gains an increasing attention. In this paper we report on our experiences of conducting a user study in the Android Market by relying on the logging methodology, and thus on sensors of a common mobile smart phone. Based on our preliminary ndings we identify the major challenges a researcher needs to face, when an inmarket study should be conducted.
