Validate and iterate
By completin" rel="nofollow">ing this activity. you should be able to demonstrate your
ability to perform user tests and in" rel="nofollow">interpret the results in" rel="nofollow">in order to iterate
on your prototype.
Based on feedback from peers and in" rel="nofollow">instructors you will make any
necessary changes to your prototype and brin" rel="nofollow">ing it to a level of quality
and completeness needed for testin" rel="nofollow">ing. Based on tester feedback
contin" rel="nofollow">inue to iterate. Do not be afraid to completely scrap a portion of
your design if needed.
Test and Validate
Based on the users established in" rel="nofollow">in week 1. go out and put the
prototype in" rel="nofollow">in their hands. Validate your application with 2-5 users.
Develop a basic test plan. It should in" rel="nofollow">include tasks. questions. and
room for unsolicited feedback. Also decide if you will be testin" rel="nofollow">ing
overall workflow. A/B testin" rel="nofollow">ing in" rel="nofollow">individual screens. or allowin" rel="nofollow">ing the
user to explore your prototype on their own.
Ask subjects to perform the task you’ve designed for. but do not
give them direct guidance (For example. do not say “click that
button there").
Record their session (via quicktime or similar). or take clear notes.
Iterate
Based on the feedback from testers and in" rel="nofollow">insights gleaned from watchin" rel="nofollow">ing
people use your prototype. make any necessary changes to your
