Observations
After significant user testing, our group recorded several observations from user testing and took into account suggestions from several test users. In most cases, the user interface was simple, and easy to pick up on a first test run. Nonetheless, we recorded certain observations of user behavior and pointed out errors that may need to be addressed for future iterations. One of the issues that one user had was an initial lack of intuition behind the timeframe in which to utilize the interface. The user was confused as to whether he was accessing the interface during the party, or just viewing music prior to it. He expressed later on that he would have preferred to provide feedback during the party instead of before. Another user took some extra time to fiddle around with the interface, as if trying to find a functionality that did not exist. He later suggested that the user interface should incorporate a log of parties that the user has previously visited. Additional suggestions include an auto-complete functionality for searches, as well as more advanced search capabilities: one that would allow the user to pinpoint a party by time, date, and location. Another possible functionality would be to enable the user to search for other people’s music, pull the file, and add a song to the user’s personal play list. Through user testing, we have obtained valuable input that will be considered in our next iteration.
