User Testing Comparison

At this point of the process user testing would have been ideal for finalizing usability aspects of our design, unfortunately sacrifices had to be made and we chose direct our efforts towards the aesthetic layout (we are designers after all) and just getting it done on time.

If we had enough time to actually follow through with user testing we would have done a user comparison test. By examining the problems and breakdowns with the older form, versus our re-designed wireframe prototype, we could see any overlooked issues with our newer design. Essentially we would have them fill out the original form, and then fill out our re-designed form and see the differences between them. This type of controlled testing in this case would have to be unbias; meaning we would probably label the old form "FORM A" and the newer "FORM B." We could then directly connect our interview questions to each form. For example by asking; which form was easier to fill out(circle one):

• FORM A
• FORM B
