Comparison

Comparison
To draw a comparison means to evaluate the similarities and differences between two or more things, usually to measure the strengths and weaknesses of each and to choose the more advantageous one. Comparisons can also be made to clarify the qualities of something by identifying how it resembles something else. Comparisons therefore can act as analogies. Regarding user experience, comparisons can be drawn to evaluate the quality of the user experience - how easily a user can access and navigate through a system. Improvements can be made after identifying the limitations of one system to further enhance the user experience. When creating a new system, a comparison can be used to define the benefits of the current system as the baseline for the new system.
