*The first group of users we invited to test our platform are users from DBS VGP, as they are the main users of the platform. On top of users from DBS VGP, we have decided to invite another group of users, they are regular users outside of DBS VGP. However, these users do not have knowledge on what the platform is about which might affect the test results. In order to bridge the gap, scenarios are created in our tasks for a better understanding of our platform.

Key Findings & Changes Implemented
Function | Feedback | Implemented? | Changes Implemented |
---|---|---|---|
Account Module | Participants find the "reset" button at the account activation page confusing. The word "reset" makes them think that clicking the button will clear the values in the field. | Yes | Change the name of the button from "reset" to "activate". |
Account Module | Participants had difficulties finding the profile and logout button because of the colors used for the buttons and where it is located. | Yes | Put the buttons at a location that is more obvious and easily accessible. |
Deal Management Module | Participants finds it tedious to search for a particular deal because they have to click in to every single deal of the company to find thep particular deal note. | No | Show the number of deal notes when displaying list of deals or have a search function. |
Deal Management Module | Some participants did not realise that they can view more about the deal by hovering and clicking into the deal item. | Yes | Create a larger color contrast on hover. |
Company Management Module | Participants changed the values in square brackets to their desired value. They are unaware that these values in square brackets will be populated with default values from the deal information if they are not changed. | No | Include some form of description to notify users that default values will be populated to words in square brackets. |
Notification Module | Some participants feel there are too many email notifications received and they feel flooded by them. | No | Send a summary email per day instead of sending email every now and then. |
All Modules | Participants had difficulty identifying the add button because it is not obvious that it is a add button and the color of the button blends in with the table. | No | Revise the button to make the intentions more obvious. |
Others | Some participants who used browsers other than Chrome (e.g. Safari, FireFox, Internet Explorer) was unable to view the list of deals properly. There were some alignment issues too. | No | Make our application compatible with commonly used browsers such as Safari and Internet Explorer. |
Others | Participants tend to want to click in from the dashboard to view more details of what's displayed on the tiles. | Yes | Allow click in from tiles to view more details. |
