User Testing 2
Venue: SIS GSR 2-2
Time: 4pm-7pm
Number of participants: 20
Summary of Key Findings:
Function | Users' Behavior | Changes to be Made |
---|---|---|
Cancel Order | User suggested to add touch ID for cancel order | We will include touch ID for cancel order |
Place New Order | When user placed a new order, there are some overlap in that page | We will fix the problem by changing front-end code |
Balance Page | The chart to display the lock balance and available balance is confusing | We will add explanation in the chart |
Drawer for IOS | When user change to simplified Chinese version, IOS version's drawer is not translated | We faced some difficulties on this issue and we will fix it before finals |
Login | First time login fail will cause the second time login to have the same pop up information even when login is successful | We will fix the problem by changing front-end code |
Terms and Condition | Users try to click the terms and conditions but it cannot work | We will add the terms and conditions link |
Help Page | The keyboard cannot be dismissed after typing | We will fix the problem by changing front-end code |
Help Bot | Some users feel the bot is not very useful | We will keep training the bot and make it smarter |

Handover Meeting with Sponsor at FundPlaces Office
Team Citadel met up with our sponsor at FundPlaces office to discuss about FYP handover. Sponsor expressed great satisfaction to our end product of the application and will endorse their full support in signing off the testings we conducted over the past 3 months to ensure functionalities are all good to be push to production once MAS regulations are cleared.
Team Reflection:
Communication with our Sponsors and Supervisor is very important in order for our team to keep align with the requirements and to avoid mismatch of expectations. This is especially so during this time period where we are expecting and anticipating changes from MAS regulations which directly impact the operations of our sponsor company. Our team has set out clear communications and in frequent contact, meetings with sponsors and supervisors.
Shangguan Yajie:
Through this project, I have learnt the following:
- As a project manager, I understand the importance of stakeholder management and planning and also I need to always have backup plans and be flexible when changes occurs.
- As a team, we need to adapt to different working styles and sometimes compromise is necessary
- It is very importance to conduct different testing in different stages and getting users' feedback.
Vivian Quark:
This FYP have taught me about Murphy's law- If something can go wrong, it can go wrong. There are numerous hiccups along the way and I have learnt how to manage user's expectations,sponsor's expectations and team's expectations. User testings gave great insights on how we can further improve our applications and the team have always been committed of continuous learning and continuous improvement. I have learnt how important it is in putting user empathy first in any functionalities or user interfaces we develop.
Qi Zhen Yi:
During this midterm, as I have already picked up the skills before acceptance, there are not much technical challenges actually. The only challenge is meeting expectation of the team. While designing for wiki pages, I often followed my own way and sometimes people’s preferences are different. So I learnt to communicate with the team more to ask for feedback and try to resolve at early stage.
Xu Jia Wen:
We could have gone for a safer choice for this FYP but we didn't. We wanted to do something more innovative, more industry-related in a real-world context. So except all the cutting-edge technologies we learnt for this project, I learnt how to deal with challenges and deal with difficult people. We did face many challenges and hit some bumps during the journey. But we managed to get through all of them and bounced back stronger. And I think all the challenges we faced in this project , such as MAS regulation issue and non-compatible technology issue, do happen a lot in real life. And all these invaluable experiences will definitely help me in my future career.
Yongyi:
After the last major milestone, I took a deeper dive in to analytics and code performance optimization. We worked as a group and came up with ways to make our code more efficient. I also learned how to modularize Javascript code with closures, for better readability and modularity. Although we faced challenges, by working closely within ourselves and with our sponsor we managed to overcome them.
Jinlong:
In the last phase of fyp, we still encountered quite a lot issues in terms of techknowlege. I realized that, even if we use some new techknowledge, it is not perfect, we should not limit ourselves to the languages that we use. The limitation of the techknowledge should not become the limitation of our imagination.
