In this week we have produced our first clickable low fi prototype. The program we chose for this was the pop-app and it was easy to create a good clickable version so that people can do the first iteration of evaluation. We tried to keep it simple and just give the future testers enough functionality so that we know how we should proceed with our next step of our prototype.
In the seminar we discussed a lot of different evaluation methods and thought about how our strategy would change if we had unlimited resources. I think that if we had unlimited resources we should test at least two different evaluation methods, one with users, like the Inspection method, we could monitor and study a huge amount of people and see how they interact with our product. And we would also let a huge amount of Experts test our prototype as well as doing many walkthroughs. However there is research according to the book that the "potential of finding errors" in the product depending on how many experts you hire is decreasing after a certain amount so it wouldn't be smart to hire too many. Then again, unlimited amount of resources might change that fact though.
We applied the DECIDE framework to our project and realized a lot of good things with the different steps. We talked about how to deal with ethical issues, How important it is to have fixed time frames because we have so much to do in other courses. And analyze what goals and questions do we have with this project, in order to really be able to evaluate and judge our progress.
We also agreed to use the Nielsen’s 10 usability Heuristics to evaluate another group's prototype tomorrow. The reason that we chose this method is because it informal and the simplicity of heuristic evaluations is very beneficial for design processes in early stages.
