16 Sept 2014, Consultation With Reviewer

Prof Ben Gan

  • Things to note for UAT:
    • State/Specify the objectives we have in mind for the UAT
    • Prof Ben is not looking at testing of functionalities but more of the usability of the system
    • Choice of location to conduct UAT is important e.g A lab experiment held at GSR/Classroom

  • What do we need to include for UAT?
    • State objective of UAT, explain the demography we are targeting
    • Clearly present results
    • Mention why are we doing this UAT and what have we found out
    • Include pictures of the survey environment such as field/classroom/lab details
  • Complete test scripts by mid terms, Prof Ben might want to see
  • Prof Ben suggested that we can go the extra mile by adopting A/B Split - Benchmark testing between old and new interface: statistics to compare and contrast (Usually done to identify differences that we cannot figure out. How 1 part influences the demography) – Test between our’s and peter’s design – click through rate higher?
  • Set tasks and goals
    • Goal: We want users to achieve certain tasks in X period of time
    • Tasks: Search for specific product or item
