CSSE 490 - Requirements Below – From ID Ch 15 – Return on investment in usability testing – How many evaluators is the right number? Steve Chenoweth Department of Computer Science & Software Engineering RHIT Session 9 – Wed, Aug 8, 2007
Today • Discuss the 2 assignments you just did. • Next week’s assignment – The presentation. • Acceptance testing – a quick review. • Evaluating ID products. • Usability testing. • Inspections. • Exam 2.
The improved prototypes • What was easy to follow my process suggestions? • What was the toughest part? • How much did it change? • Does it feel “finished”?
The improved user interface • Did peer input help? • Did you make other changes? • How did coordinating with your peers go? • Is your result useful?
Next week’s assignment – The presentation • Let’s look at it. • You’ll be providing your peers in class with new information about testing: • How you’d do acceptance testing • How you’d do usability testing
Acceptance testing – a quick review • This was Ch 26 in the Req book. • Key is your use cases -- It’s 1 use case many test cases (Why?) • For quality attributes – Create a test case based on each scenario you did • What you present next week -- These should look like the outline of each test case. (Probably lacking some details.)
What does a (short) acceptance test look like? Test Cases for Use Case: 4.1.1 - Start Page • This one’s from a senior project. • It involves users, but doesn’t have to! • It’s a “negative” test – note how it tests error conditions! • Don’t do quite this much – do like an outline of this! • How many? See assignment
And what do usability tests look like? • Pretty similar (since the above one was for a user activity). • We’ll talk more about this tonight – Ch 14 in ID • Two files of examples (which also could be considered acceptance tests), under Handouts: • sample_validation_test_cases.html and • TestCaseExample-SQAReadingAssessmentTestCase4_04092002.htm
Today’s ID topics (includes usability testing) • Ch 11: Design, prototyping and construction - Was “read on your own” • Ch 12: Introducing evaluation • Ch 13: An evaluation framework • Ch 14: Usability testing and field studies • Ch 15: Analytical evaluation ID slides are in separate files.
Example we’ll use, once again, as a “vehicle” for class discussion today • “Design a text messaging system for people to use as they drive their cars.” • Here’s our guy: Left - Here’s the problem: Political consultant Daniel Cence says he is trying to curb the impulse to text-message and read his e-mails while he is driving, after having an accident while texting.

And…Let’s look at Exam 2 • It’s out there under Quizzes • Or reachable from the Schedule
