For the pilot test, we will give your product a "real-
world" test as well as collect data on the use of the
product in the classrooms. Here are the steps we will
follow for our pilot test.
1. We will recruit test-run professors and teachers who are
similar to our intended audience.
The important thing here is that the test audience should,
as much as possible, be like your "real" audience so you
get the most accurate information.
2. Have the test-run participants use or watch your product.
It is not necessary to bring the whole group together at
once. It might be better to only have one or two
participant test run the product at a time.
3. Observe the test-run participants as they use/watch your
product.
The important thing here is to try not to interfere. In
order to get accurate information, you must not jump in
to "help" as soon as you spot an apparent problem. Of
course, if participants really get stuck, you do want to
work with them so they can continue to test your product.
a. Make notes.
Your notes should include information about where any
problems occurred, under what circumstances, and how the
person attempted to resolve or actually did resolve the
problem. You should include any participant reactions, both
positive and negative, which you observe. Your notes should
include information such as "Screen #10 - both participants
clicked on the big picture of the car instead of the first
small picture" or "the right arrow button on screen #3
sends user to screen #4 instead of screen #7."
b. Ask questions.
Your questions should help clarify why people are doing
what they're doing (i.e., When you got to the screen with
the one big and several small pictures of cars, why did you
click on the big picture first?). Your questions should
also help you make changes (i.e., What would you suggest we
do to make this screen, page, frame, etc. less confusing?).
4. Have the test-run participants make notes as they
use/watch your product.
This is a good way for the test-run participants to capture
things as they happen. You will likely get confirmation of
problems you observed as well as some on-the-spot thinking
which you cannot observe very easily.
This is also a useful time to collect information if you
are unable to directly observe the test-run participants.
5. Have the test-run participants complete a survey.
This is a more systematic way to collect the infomation you
are after. All test-run participants answer the same
questions, and you can quickly see any trends that develop.
Like the test-run participant notes, a survey is also a
good way to get information if you are unable to observe
the participants yourself.
6. Conduct interviews/focus group after the test-run.
