Settings navigation paper prototypes, again
We have design plans for how the settings are organised, which it would be good to test before making any changes. Let's do a quick round of user testing using paper prototypes, using the same methodology as in #2 (closed). Help running tests would be appreciated!
Instructions for testers
Running a test takes around 20 minutes, plus another 10 minutes to write up.
- Find someone who you can run the test on:
- This could be someone you have physical access to, or you could the test over a video call.
- Test participants can be GNOME users or not GNOME users. It's best if they're not directly involved in the GNOME project.
- The test can be conducted with either a paper prototype, or a digital image that you will show on a screen. Paper is often easiest, but if you don't have access to a printer or are running the test remotely, the digital version is fine too.
- Download the test facilitator guide and either the digital prototype or print prototype.
- If you're using print versions of the documents, print them out.
- Read through the facilitator guide before you start. If anything is unclear, just ask.
- Run your test! Sit down with your participant and run through the guide with them, recording what happens either on the sheet or by making digital notes.
- After the test, thank the participant, and then write up your results in markdown, like this. Then send the results either by posting them in a comment or creating a merge request against this project.
Results
Key:
-
✅ - success (guessed correctly on first attempt) -
☑ - partial success (guessed correctly on a subsequent attempt) -
