Usability Test - Paper Prototype

We conducted the usability test today, using out paper prototype.
We managed to test it out on 3 people.

Positives:

  • The testers found the actual usability of the site very straight forward, they understood how to navigate trough the story.
  • They gained a little background knowledge into the legend of the spectre.
  • They liked the problem solving aspect of the game, one tester commented that they enjoyed the thinking and problem solving at every stage.


Negatives:

  • There was a little wait before 2 testers realised that they could use their finger to click on characters they would like to interview more.
  • A tester didn't like the stereotypical names we have given the characters, especially PC Bob
Changes:

  • For the next usability test, we defiantly need a better questionnaire, which pushes people to give more in depth answer, rather then yes or no.
  • Design - we would make sure buttons and interactive characters are clearly highlighted as clickable.
  • Design - We need to incorporate an introduction screen that would replace me giving a verbal intro. It should introduce the game, the legend and your role within the game.
