Test Materials CSSE 376, Software Quality Assurance Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology April 30, 2007
Outline • Data Collection • Nondisclosure/Consent Form • Task Scenarios
Data Collection (1/2) • Performance data • Time: • to complete task • to reach level of competence • to recover from an error • Counts: • errors • successful task completion • omitted steps
Data Collection (2/2) • Preference data • Preference for one version rather than another • Suggestions for improving product • Rankings of product
Methods of Data Collection • Data loggers • Self-reporting • Manual collection
Nondisclosure/Consent Form • Nondisclosure • Participant promises not to reveal information about new products • Consent • Participant agrees to be videotaped • Testers agree not to misuse information about participants
Task Scenarios • Provide realistic scenarios, complete with motivations to perform • Sequence tasks in most likely order • Match tasks to participant experience • Avoid jargon and slang • Provide substantial amount of work
Presenting the Scenarios • Reading scenarios to participants • One less thing for participants to do • Can control pace • Participants read scenarios themselves • Less influence of test monitor • May need to prevent them from reading ahead (might display tasks on a computer screen)
