Testing Project 1

• Load your app on a phone.
• Find at least four people in the class to test your app. For each one, do the following:
• Show them your app description/feature list from your e-portfolio - let them read it, don't explain it to them
• Give them the phone. Tell them which app is yours, but nothing more.
• Take notes of any of the following:
• Questions they ask - you may answer them, but be as direct as possible, don't tell them more than what they asked
• Comments they make
• Missteps they make (e.g. click buttons out of order)
• Confusion
• Delight
• Surprises
• Once they are done testing your app, ask the following questions:
• What did you like about the app?
• What did you not like about the app?
• What was intuitive?
• What was confusing?
• What seemed to be missing? or, What do you wish had been in the app?
• Any ideas for improvements or new features?
• Use your notes to improve your app and answer the first question on your e-portfolio
• Schedule:
• 20 minutes announcements and prep (load apps on phones)
• select 1/3 of teams as testers
• max 10 minutes per tester
• partners show tester portfolio app description/feature list
• tester uses app, partners silent, one behind/to side, one in front/angle
• partners ask questions, document responses
• repeat 3 times so everyone gets to test, 4 testers per app
