===User Testing Environment===
 
  
Computer platform : Intel Pentium Processor
+
'''The goals and objectives of usability testing:'''
  
Screen resolution : 1028 x 768
+
• Record and document general feedback and first impressions
 
 
Operating System : Windows XP
 
 
 
Set-up required : Computer date format (English (Australia)) of d/MM/YYYY
 
 
 
===Participants===
 
 
 
The participants will attempt to complete a set of scenarios presented to them and to provide feedback regarding the usability and acceptability of the application.
 
 
 
1. Kevin Choy, SATS Airline Relations Manager - Person-in-charge for this project.
 
 
 
2. Goh Wei Xuan, SATS Airline Relations Manager
 
 
 
===Procedure===
 
 
 
====Instructions====
 
 
 
These instructions were given to our clients:
 
 
 
1. Each user will be accompanied by 1 facilitator.
 
 
 
2. Users are encouraged to verbalize their movements, purpose, and problems.
 
 
 
3. Facilitators will record mistakes and questions made by users during testing.
 
 
 
4. To start the test, click on the file named “START.bat” found in folder named “SATS_Bumblebee_Beta_v5”.
 
 
 
5. All sample files needed for testing are found in:  SATS_Bumblebee_Beta_v5/data
 
 
 
6. Database used to store imported data is also found in ROOT folder.
 
 
 
7. Users are allowed to change their input(s) to verify data validity.
 
 
 
8. Users are to complete the tasks stated below. After completing each task, users have to answer the test questions pertaining to the specific task.
 
 
 
====Tasks====
 
 
 
These are the task descriptions given to clients:
 
 
 
Below are tasks for users to complete.
 
 
 
1. Bootstrap/import files(s)
 
 
 
This task is for user to import data from excel files such as Flight Schedule Departure, Flight Schedule Arrival, Staff Records, etc. into the application. The application will then use these data for simulation purpose in the later step.
 
 
 
2. Add staff costs
 
 
 
This task is to record various costs in hiring staff into the application.
 
 
 
3. Add uncertainties
 
 
 
This task is to record the mean and standard deviation of different uncertainties that will affect the initial schedule prepared by the application. Simulation period = 7 days (represents the number of days the data is to be generate).
 
 
 
4. Run simulation
 
 
 
Run simulation to start assigning staff to different job assignments.
 
 
 
5. View staff schedule (in Gantt Chart)
 
 
 
This allows user to view and compare between a staff’s planned and actual working time.
 
 
 
6. Add airline requirements
 
  
Airlines have several different requirements on number of CSA and CSO needed.
+
• Identify any potential concerns to address regarding application usability, presentation, and navigation
  
This task is to record the individual requirements into the database. The input data will be used for simulation purpose in the later step.
+
• Get feedback on the usefulness and accuracy of the functions developed
  
7. Generate result
+
• To match client expectations on the system developed
  
This task is to view the result generated in PDF format.
 
  
===Team Roles===
+
'''User Testing Conclusion:'''
  
Overall in-charge (Yosin Anggusti)
+
• Client was satisfied with the system
  
- Provide training overview prior to usability testing
+
• Current result seems close and better than the actual result under manual scheduling. However, close monitor of result with client is highly needed to ensure that the result is indeed valid
  
- Defines usability and purpose of usability testing to participants
+
• Team will consistently send the latest file to client for independent testing
  
Facilitators (Glorya Marie, Suriyanti)
 
 
- Evaluate on the application and user interaction with the application, rather than evaluating on the user
 
 
- Facilitator will observe and enter user behavior and user comments.
 
 
- Responds to participant’s requests for assistance
 
 
Test Observers (Yosin Anggusti)
 
 
- Silent observers
 
 
- Assists the data logger in identifying problems, concerns, coding bugs, and procedural errors

===Critical Errors===
+
'''The goals and objectives of usability testing:'''
Critical errors are deviations of results from the actual result. These errors will cause the task to fail. Facilitators are to records there critical errors.
 
  
===Non-Critical Errors===
+
• Record and document general feedback and first impressions
Non-critical errors are usually procedural, in which the participant does not complete a task in the most optimal means (e.g. excessive steps, initially selecting the wrong function, attempting to edit an un-editable field).
 
These errors may not be detected by the user himself. Facilitators have to record these errors independently.
 
  
===Scenario Completion Time===
+
• Identify any potential concerns to address regarding application usability, presentation, and navigation
The time to complete each scenario, not including subjective evaluation durations, will be recorded.

Subjective evaluations regarding ease of use and satisfaction will be collected via questionnaires. There are 2 participants, thus results from both participants will be combined or averaged whenever it is necessary.
 
  
Each of the two participants contributes 50% to their answers. Not all sections are answered, thus not all questions have a total of 100% weight.
