Agenda:

1. Review of Connor's content for the "Usability Test Script"
2. Presentation on "Measuring User Experience" Postponed until later
3. Discussion of the Framework's "Post-Test Reflection" section

Notes:

• Review of Connor’s content for the “Usability Test Script”
  • Pre-test Survey developed in Google Forms:
    • How will you use this information after the test?
    • Team provided suggestions for improvement of questions
    • Consider reducing the number of questions ask to avoid question fatigue
    • Think about questions you are trying to answer and what you need to ask to get answers to those questions.
    • Mock analysis: Go through questions yourself and answer, then look at results and ask yourself “what does this mean that someone responded in this way?” What will you do with the responses?
  • Usability Test Itself
    • Test usually take longer than you would expect. Users need time to explore the application
    • Question from Bob: Will users come with their own data or will you give them data?
      • Data will be streaming data already loaded into database
      • Bob: good to provide explanation of the data that people will be expected to use for the test
      • Connor: need to do pilot testing to make sure I give them enough information
      • Bob: Assume they know nothing
    • We want to make sure that both the scenarios and task will lead to the answers that you are trying to find.
