user testing ppt notes

User Testing ppt

• Important to make your design successful.

• Get to see your idea through the eyes of the audience, especially important from children, you get to see their perspective.

• Get to take on board their comments to progress

• How to test.
Questionnaires, Video/ observation, Interviews, Focus groups.

• Audience considerations:
who are your audience, what are you trying to communicate to them, what setting- where will they be tested, do they have previous knowledge of the subject matter, the larger the group then the more satisfactory the results will be.

• How to test
preference measures-  asking people what they prefer, scoring on a scale of 1-5, best and worst elements, focus groups-open questions and discussion.

Performance measures - How quickly the content is understood, how they react to it, is it stimulating or boring? can measure how much the tester gets it wrong etc. people may prefer a design but it may not be affective.

Process measures - watching and recording people using the artefact, protocol (the order in which things happen). Video and audio can give an insight to reactions and behaviours that may not been noticed at the time.

Testing Children
they are brutally honest and give an insight into things you haven't thought of before.

They get tired and bored more easily and get discouraged.
