Hi all: For our meeting at 10:30pm EST today, I put together a draft of a test protocol (in email body below). Please look it over and feel free to edit or add to. Thanks,
Christian -- * Sugar Home View Concept Testing* Draft 01/23/10 *Goal*: Evaluate the Home view for "Resume activity" and "Start new activity" functionality. *Protocol*: Alternate between two builds, one per student: The current build [Build A], which makes "Resume" the default action, and a test build [Build B] making "Start new" the default action. *Duration*: 5 mins per student *Student Profile*: Should be a current user (not a first-time user). Age and grade should be recorded, along with duration of overall Sugar experience. 1. Begin at Home screen after boot up 2. Test cognitive model 1. "Describe what you see in this view." 2. "What are the symbols in the ring?" 3. "Describe what each symbol in the ring is." 4. "Do you know why the symbols are different colors?" 5. "What activity did you last work on?" 3. Test pathways [Alternate between two pathways, one per student] Pathway 1: 1. "Show how you would go back to the activity you last worked on. Describe what you are doing." [Student shows pathway to resume activity.] 2. "Now, show what you would do if you wanted to start a new [Write/Draw/Browse, etc.; should be of the same kind] activity. Describe what you are doing." [Student shows pathway to start a new activity of the same kind.] 3. "Now, show what you would do if you wanted to start a new [Write/Draw/Browse, etc.; should be a different activity than the current one] activity." [Student shows pathway to start a new activity different from the current activity.] Pathway 2: 1. "Show how you would start a new activity. Describe what you are doing." [Student opens a new activity.] 2. "Now, show what you would do if you wanted to go back to the activity you last worked on. Describe what you are doing." [Student shows pathway to resume a previous activity.] 3. "Now, show what you would do if you wanted to start a new [Write/Draw/Browse, etc.; should be of the same kind] activity. Describe what you are doing."[Student shows pathway to start a new activity of the same kind.] 4. General questions "If you could change anything about Sugar, what would make it easier for you to go back to a previous activity?" "What would make it easier for you to start a new activity?" "Is there anything else about Sugar that you would change?"
