- Task 1 - Add receipt to an existing report
- The user was confused by the task description, since we didn't actually implement the camera functionality - cosmetic; would be resolved were camera functionality implemented
- The drop-down menu was very clear and the user commented that she liked it
- No currency signs; cosmetic - we can fix this one
- At the end of the task, one of the users submitted the report instead of saving it; major - there shouldn't be confusion about this and we need to make the distinction clearer
- Task 2 - Submit expense report
- The user needed to look at the receipt again to recall the amount and date on the receipt and used the photo icon to do so, she was pleased to have that functionality
- Since the date, vendor and amount were already on the receipt, the user wondered how come the interface doesn't auto populate those fields
- The user was confused about the difference between report date and receipt date; minor - this would become clear with use and is important to the people who approve these reports
- The reports did not look like they would be clickable so the user wrongly clicked on "Spending Reports" instead of on one of the reportreports; minor
- The user was surprised that there was no submission confirmation after submitting the report; cosmetic - this would be implemented on a full system ( where submission to a home system actually happens)
- One user wasn't sure how to just look at the reports without submitting a new receipt; minor - we should make the functionality to manage reports easier to recognize
- Task 3 - Edit amount on old receipt
- For two users, the receipts didn't appear like they would be clickable, so there weren't sure what to do; major - this became a technical limitation, we weren't able to create the behavior that we wanted in these listings.
- Task 4 - Show statistics
- One user commented the task was very clear and straightforward
- One user wrongly created a new report instead of looking at the old ones; minor - this mistake can be corrected by the user.
- The wording is confusing, need to have a clear difference between expense report and statistics reports; minor - should be easier to tell the difference, but can be easily backed out of.
Optional Solutions
- Change the appearance of the list items both for the report list and the receipt list so that it is clear that they can be clicked
- Change "date" wording to "receipt date" and "report date"
- Add "toast" widget to say "report sent to ..." after submitting report to give the user indication that the report was sent
- Implement camera functionality
- Change "spending reports" to "spending statistics"
- Make the "manage reports" button larger

Additionally, while we ended up not implementing some of the more advanced featured we originally planned for, we . We are happy with our decision to prioritize simplicity over advanced features.
