Second Iteration of User Testing

Prototype iteration

Several changes were made after the first iteration of testing:

• Confusing fields in our Profile page and Create Game page were fixed.
  • The gender field was changed from text box to a pair of radio buttons.
  • A help ‘?’ was placed next to the “Rank” field. Clicking the “?” button would pop out a message explaining how a user should rank themselves and how the rank is used.
  • Added “*” to identify fields that must be filled out by a user
• Space Usage issues were addressed. We noticed that the user was focused on the right side of the screen for the majority of the tasks so the space along the left profile area was not effectively utilized. One major change in the paper prototype was to rearrange the layout so that more useful information would be displayed. This was accomplished by moving the game information to the left and adding a section to the right that would continuously display information about the user’s upcoming games. Since this is the most important piece of information for users of PickFind, it seems fitting to have this information always visible. The profile information was moved to the top right corner. It is still continuously visible, but takes up less window space. The option to view/edit ones profile, can be selected from the drop down menu by clicking the arrow next to the username.
