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 -- <div><div> 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. </div> 1. Begin at Home screen after boot up 2. Test cognitive model <ol><li>"Describe what you see in this view."</li><li>"What are the symbols in the ring?"</li> <li>"Describe what each symbol in the ring is."</li><li>"Do you know why the symbols are different colors?" </li><li>"What activity did you last work on?"</li></ol></div>3. Test pathways <div>[Alternate between two pathways, one per student] Pathway 1: <ol><li>"Show how you would go back to the activity you last worked on. Describe what you are doing." [Student shows pathway to resume activity.]</li><li>"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.]</li><li>"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.]</li></ol>Pathway 2: <ol><li>"Show how you would start a new activity. Describe what you are doing." [Student opens a new activity.]</li><li>"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.]</li><li>"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.]</li></ol>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?" </div>
