📌 Read and understand the chapters usability evaluation and Development Process.

For this lab, everything described in the section preparation needs to be final.

6.1.1 Usability Evaluation

  • 🧰 1 cognitive walkthrough by 1 team member
  • 🧰 1 heuristic evaluation by 1 team member
  • 🧰 2 thinking aloud tests with real users outside the course
  • 🧰 check your web app with wave or your android app with accessibility scanner and document the findings
  • 🧰 document your usability evaluation and suggest improvements in docs/lab5.md
    • document your tasks
    • document the usability issues and rate their severeness, if you have an idea how they may be fixed, add it
  • 🧰 shortly describe which development process is similar to the one you followed and reflect pros and cons -- keeping in mind it was your first time doing a project like this.
  • 🧰 reflect shortly, what went well, what was a waste of time and what was surprising

Tip

You do not need to fix any usability problems, just document your findings.

6.1.2 Project video

🧰 Record a video of your app (1-2 min) and upload it to ???nextcloud

6.1.3 Final presentation

🧰 Prepare a presentation of your work, i.e. everyone presents shortly their share of the project.

Do not show the video during the presentation. We will watch all videos during the last lecture. For the last lecture bring your app running on two mobile devices.
