초록

본 연구에서는 음악 스트리밍 서비스의 이용자 수가 점차 늘어가는 추세 속에서 사용자들에게 개선된 사용성을 가진 앱을 제공하고자 Screen Test기법과 실시 전후로 인터뷰를 진행하는 방식으로 사용성 테스트를 실시하고, Performance Measurement방식과 Contextual Inquiry방식을 사용하여 사용성 테스트 진행하였다. 사용성 테스트는 10대부터 50대 사용자 각 1명씩 진행하였으며 서비스 사용자가 많은 멜론, 유튜브 뮤직, 지니, FLO앱에서 진행하였다. 사용성 테스트 결과 아이콘이 기능을 충분히 나타내지 못하고 상호 작용 가능한 버튼으로 인식되지 못하여 사용자가 지나치는 점, 기능이 활성화 되었을 때 시각적 효과 부족으로 사용자가 인지하지 못하는 문제, 기능 배치가 연속적이지 않아 끊기는 사용성을 가지는 문제점을 도출하였다. 이에 대해 각 앱에 대해서 아이콘을 직관적으로 변경하고, 기능 활성화 시 화면의 시각적 효과를 추가하며, 기능이 연속성을 가지도록 위치 조정을 하는 등의 사용자 화면 개선안을 시각적 자료와 함께 제시했다.

In this study, in order to provide an app with improved usability to users in the trend of gradually increasing the number of users of music streaming services, usability tests were conducted by conducting interviews before and after the execution of the screen test technique and the performance measurement method and contextual. Usability test was conducted using the Inquiry method. Usability tests were conducted by one user each from their teens to their 50s, and were conducted on Melon, YouTube Music, Genie, and FLO apps with many service users. As a result of the usability test, the icon does not sufficiently represent the function and is not recognized as an interactive button, which is overlooked by the user, the problem that the user does not recognize due to lack of visual effect when the function is activated, The problem was derived. In this regard, suggestions for improving the user screen, such as intuitively changing the icon for each app, adding a visual effect of the screen when the function is activated, and adjusting the position so that the function has continuity, were presented along with the visual data.
