Method 1:
Goal of Usability Test
‐ Watch how people complete tasks on the site to see where improvements in UX can be made.
Format of Test
-
‐ Invite one user at a time to use the site and one peer to watch results
-
‐ Test 3‐5 users in total
-
‐ Reserve a quiet room (ie a conference room)
-
‐ Draft 3 tasks that would test the sites principle functionality
-
‐ Write scenarios based on each of those tasks
-
‐ Use screen‐recording software during test
-
‐ Utilize the checklist on the following page for each test
-
‐ After usability tests, discuss results with peer and determine three edits that would
improve the UX based on what the users did during these sessions.
Key usability goals to test for:
o Add or edit an item o View analytics
o Challenge a friend
-
‐ The user does not need to take the tour once starting the app
-
‐ The user does not use the back buttom
Method 2:
Goal of case study:
Scope of Case study
-
‐ Week 1: Find 20 subjects to engage in long‐term test of To Do Tackler app
-
‐ Weeks 2 – 3: Have half the subjects manage their to do lists on paper notepads, and the
other half utilize the To Do Tackler web app.
-
‐ Weeks 4 – 5: Have subjects switch their to do list format (ie subjects who were
managing with notepad now beginning using the web app and vice versa).
-
‐ Weekly: Have subjects submit their lists, marking which items were completed or
missed and one‐sentence commentary on why.
-
‐ Calculate number and % of tasks completed each week. Look for productivity trends and
comparisons between web app and notepad tracking.
