Lilia:Bella and Recep, i have wrote below some ideas for Planning Report, suggestions are more than welcome.
TASK 2
Planning Report:
• The goal of the test: to research usability aspects of WinhaWille student page,dentify problems and benefits: Since WihnaWille is strictly educational assistance tool, we will not be covering attractiveness and visualization of the application, we will concentrate on the following tasks:
- to define if the structure of the menu is clear and the titles are understandable
- do the users able to successfully complete the task
- to detect if information represented is clear and understandable
- to detect if data is reliable and accurant
- to identify the most relevant/important parts of application, as well as missing and unnecessary ones, usefull and not
- to reveal general lareas for improvement
•
After you have completed the pilot test do the following:
1. Write into your task 2, i.e. your testing plan:
- When and where the test was executed
- What you have to correct in your testing plan. e.g., your task descriptions were not clear, your time estimation of how long the test takes was not correct, you did not have the right dbriefing questions, you did not get the information that you thought you would from the test.
- Then correct your plan (state what colour you will use for the corrections so that i find them)
- State when and where will the actual testing take place.

• How long is each test session expected to take
...
The test would be take approximately 5 mn for each session•
MB: This is very short time, how will you manage to do the testing in that time?
: 30-40 min per each user
• What
...

• What should the system/network load and
...

• Who will serve as experimenters for the test
...
We think speacially student•
: Bella, Lilia and Recep

- to show the less common area of usage
- to give a feedback on improvement
• What criteria will be used to determine when the users have finished each of the test tasks correctly

...
: no help
• To what extend will the experimenter be allowed to help the users during the test

...
:
DATA:
- Talk alowd records: to gather immediate feedback on interacting with the system
- Interview or questionnaire results
- Observation: to collect verbal and nonverbal reactions (interjections, gestures, facial expression and etc) will be used as an addition to main research
METHODS:
analyzing quatitive data:
- calculation of frequency of successful performance
- time to complete the task
analyzing qualititive data:
- interview interpretation
- questionnare analysis
- heuretical analysis
