One of our "party goer" users finds the "Mardi Gras Party" and sees that there is little to no music on the playlist. He attempts to upload music by clicking on the "Upload track" and votes for music by clicking on the thumbs up icon.

Briefing

The two major users types were the party promoter and the party goer. The party promoter user approached the website with the background of being in charge of promoting his or her event. The party goer was characterized as being a typical college student that often went to parties on the weekends and was familiar with the format of listening to music in a party setting.

Scenario Tasks

We gave the users different tasks based on their user type. The party promoter user was tasked first with creating an event, then uploading at least one song to their event's playlist. The party goer user was tasked with finding the event they planned on attending and voting on a song in the playlist of that event.

Observations

After observing several user test cases, our group recorded observations and took into account suggestions from several test users to create an additional iteration of our design.  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.
