Songza Usability Evaluation
Role: course project Team member
Course: SI 422 - Needs assessment and usability testing
overview
For our semester-long course project, my team and I practiced usability evaluation methods by assessing a web platform. We chose to evaluate Songza, an online music streaming platform that curates playlists based on a user's experience and preference. Throughout this course, we learned and practiced the following methods:
- Conducting usability tests
- Running, coding, and analyzing interviews
- Completing a comparative analysis, heuristic evaluation, and interaction map
- Developing personas and scenarios
This project culminated in a final report of recommendations to the platform for improvement from a consultation perspective.
