🚨 UX Term Spotlight: Edge Case 🚨
An Edge Case refers to rare or extreme scenarios that fall outside the typical user journey—but still need thoughtful design.
Why they matter in UX:
✅ Reveal hidden design flaws
✅ Prevent user frustration & drop-offs
✅ Improve inclusivity & accessibility
✅ Build trust by handling the unexpected
Examples:
- Slow internet or unsupported browsers
- Users entering data in unusual formats
- Accessibility challenges (e.g., screen readers)
- System crashes or outages
👉 Designing for edge cases ensures your product works not just in the “happy path,” but in the real world where unpredictability happens.
