I conducted a quantitative research survey with 12 people and based on what I discovered through the screen survey​:

How they manage their account / user profile in others apps.

What is the ideal account section according to them.

30% of users use the app only for checking price and they preferred to buy in stores

50% users found the product page instructions unclear

15% of users had trouble logging in, either due to password recovery issues

One of the main challenges I faced in this research was analyzing a large volume of data from user interviews and surveys. Then, I used affinity mapping method to categorize data. My ability to navigate this complexity to deriving actionable findings for this project.

Testing (Usability Testing)

I conduct two type of usability testing at this stage including both moderated and unmoderated sessions. For unmoderated testing, we use zoom and moderated , I interviewed 4 people consisting of both existing users of the app and new users.

I found it significantly easier to navigate throughout the app, enhancing their overall experience.

The ability to save payment options was highly valued, as it saved my time during checkout.


I really appreciated having more options in the profile section, including the ability to customize my profiles.


It really helpful that now I can easily see which account was currently active, making it convenient to switch between different accounts.



The separation of "My Garage" options into different parts of the app helped me to manage my automotive needs more effectively.

Managing membership plans and points was found to be very helpful, improving my engagement with the app.


Key Learnings

-
I realized the significant use if user - centric design and prioritizes the user experience at all stage.
-
Communication within the team is critical for achieving consistency with the project's goals.
-
Time management is important for the collaborative project since missing task deadlines can have significant effects on the others responsibilities.
-
We mustn't become too tied to our designs and keep open to improvement.
What I'd do differently next time

Engage a more diverse user base to capture a wider range of behaviors and needs.

Analyze and improve different user flows for a seamless experience across all touchpoints.

Incorporate user feedback early and continuously to catch and resolve issues sooner.

Create high-fidelity, interactive prototypes for more accurate feedback during testing.
