• The goal of the test: what do you want to achieve?
The goal of the test is to check the functionality and usability of the site(Tuubi). We intend to gather enough information or facts in other to improve the short comings encountered on the site.
• Where and when will the test take place?
The test would be carried out in one of the computer rooms in school later next week.
• How long is each test session expected to take?
The test session would take approximately 10 mins for each participant.
• What computer support will be needed for the test?
The support needed would be a computer connected to the internet because we would ask them(students) to log on to their Tuubi.
• What software needs to be ready for the test?
The basic software needed for the test are Windows OS and a web browser e.g. Mozilla, Internet Explorer etc.
• What should the state of the system be at the start of the test?
The system would be switched on and be ready to use.
• What should the system/network load and What should the system/network load and response times be? (not too fast or too slow);
The system network load would be adequate enough to support our test.
• Who will serve as experimenters for the test?
We would use our co-students to carry out the test.
• Who are the users going to be and how are we going to get hold of them?
The users are going to be co-students and we going to inform them beforehand so they would all be present during the test period.
• How many users are needed?
We are going to use at least 3 users for the testing.
• What test tasks will the users be asked to perform?
Navigation from one page to another and the loading time involved when opening any particular part of the site.
• What criteria will be used to determine when the users have finished each of the test tasks correctly?
We are going to use the Obtrusive observation method because this would give us the chance to ask questions when they are through with their individual testing.
• What user aids will be made available to the test users (manuals, online help, etc)?
Verbal and written aid would be given to the users e.g. questionnaires.
• To what extend will the experimenter be allowed to help the users during the test?
We are going to adopt the testing aloud method.
• What data is going to be collected and how will it be analysed?
The data that would be collected would be what ways and methods they think Tuubi can be improved for the best.
