Microsoft Clarity Flutter SDK - iOS: Eventing Assessment

Microsoft Clarity Flutter SDK - iOS: Eventing Assessment Aaron Gregory, Brand Advisor

Overview: This assessment evaluates the usability of the Clarity Flutter SDK session data for creating smart events. Specifically, it calculates the percentage of eventable key performance indicators (KPIs) in a defined user flow. By measuring how well Clarity can event on critical KPIs, we can identify gaps and make data-driven decisions for improvement.

Key Objectives:  Measure usability to assess how complete the product feature is,

based on the percentage of key KPIs captured for smart events.  Use the completion percentage to inform resource allocation decisions.  Align findings with the product release timeline to ensure full functionality.

Eventing Usability Criteria:  Find eventable data for each key performance indicator (KPI) in a

defined flow.  A KPI is the screen name or the identifier of the control the user has interacted with.  Each KPI must occur in order and the correct number of times.  Gestures must be the correct type and associated with the proper screen.  Future assessments will include the smart event creation process.

Eventing Usability 83% Microsoft Clarity Flutter SDK – iOS: Eventing Assessment

Findings:  Most interactions are not usable for smart events.

 Only buttons with visible text have enough data to be used for smart

events.  All interactions are reported as taps.  Gaps exist in funnels due to lack of screen or gesture context.  Enhancements are needed to allow reliable event-based analytics and KPI tracking.  Unable to track form field completion.  Apps that use graphical UI elements without text will not be able to fully leverage smart event capabilities.

Recommendations:  Add support for identifying controls using accessibility identifiers (accessibility

id, label, and hint).  Leverage Flutter's Semantics widget to apply descriptive labels.  Encourage developers to assign unique semantics labels to key interactive elements.  Promote consistent use of accessibility labels across iOS and Android.  Reference best practices such as W3C Mobile Accessibility and Flutter Semantics documentation.

21

Next Steps:  Re-test eventing usability with updated SDK with semantics accessibility

features.  Develop proof-of-concept smart events using enhanced SDK features.  Share implementation feedback with Clarity team.  Evaluate cross-platform consistency (iOS vs. Android) and prepare parallel assessment.
