SoundGenius

Podcast Application With User Testing

The SoundGenius application was built as part of a user case study. The purpose of the case study was to conduct user testing and implementing that feedback into the design of the Podcast application. The goal of implementing data retrieved from user tests was to make the platform overall more user friendly by pinpointing where users were struggling to navigate in the application.

Through the Figma to Maze plug-in, user tests were conducted in order to find how the application could be improved for usability purposes. The heat map from Maze’s testing indicates the rending locations where users were clicking. The tests provided evidence that the application was accessible to users and easy to navigate.

1. The first prompt users were given during testing was to navigate to the currently playing podcast, The Broski Report.
2.
From there, users were asked to find the podcasts created by Morgan Absher, in the podcast library page.
3. Once users navigated to where Morgan Absher was in the podcast library, they were then prompted to search for the Crime Junkie Podcast.
4. Finally, once users successfully navigated to the search function in order to find the Crime Junkie podcast, the user tests were complete.
