Verification Test

Before completing the final touches to our online manual, our team of 4 needed to perform a verification test to ensure its ease of use. Together we compiled one list of tasks for the testers to perform, and one list of questions inquiring to the manual's ease of use and any difficulties encountered.
Since we had a budget of $0, we each chose 2 friends or family members to complete the test and questionnaire. The specificity and open-ended style of the test's questions allowed our testers to pinpoint several errors in our manual, enabling us to revise it and increase its effectiveness.

 

 

VERIFICATION TEST FOR THE HOTMAIL USER GUIDE

We ask that you perform the following tasks, using the instructions from our user guide at: www.geocities.com/emailuserguide. Below the list of tasks is a questionnaire regarding your experience following the instructions. Please fill out the questionnaire, adding any comments that come to mind, and return it to me via an e-mail attachment. The address for Hotmail is: www.hotmail.com

Thank you for performing this verification test.
