Briefing
When a child is born, parents have to adjust to a new sleep schedule, keep track of the newborn’s needs, and manage vital supplies. Management of these things is not intuitive and often results in one of the areas being neglected. Our website "dBabies" is designed to help parents of newborns record important events for the baby and have a running list of baby supplies that need to be purchased. In this user test, you are a stay at home spouse for your baby Marvin where you will be walked through a few typical events in the life of a newborn's parents.
Scenario Tasks
1) After a long day of playing, Marvin and you are very tired and both take a nap. After an hour of sleep, you wake up but Marvin is still fast asleep. You log onto dBabies to log Marvin's nap.
Task: Add a "Nap Time" for Marvin which started 1 hour ago.
2) As Marvin sleeps, you realize that you want to start tracking whenever Marvin is bathed. Since bathing is a pretty common task, you want to be able to quickly and easily add it to the calendar.
Task: Add a new quick press button to the side panel for Marvin when he is bathed
3) Marvin is finally awake from his nap and is quite hungry. You grab a bottle of milk from the fridge, and, after warming it up, start to feed Marvin. With Marvin in one arm, you log onto dBabies yet again to mark his feeding.
Task: Mark a "Feeding Time" for the current time.
4) As you feed Marvin, you notice he is staring to run a fever. You're worried that he is starting to get sick, so you set up a doctor's appointment for tomorrow afternoon at 1:00 PM.
Task: Add a new event, doctor's appointment, to the calendar for tomorrow at 1:00 PM.
5) Marvin is very uncomfortable about being so warm from his fever and is starting to cry. You decide that you should get him some baby Advil. Luckily, your spouse is almost out of work and he/she always checks dBabies to see if anything needs to be picked up for Marvin as the make their way back home.
Task: Update the Shopping List with baby Advil
6) As you try to soothe Marvin by picking rocking him back and forth, you notice that his diaper is wet. You go to change Marvin and realize that you are down to your last 5 diapers. After changing him , you get on dBabies and log the diaper change and note that the diapers are low.
Task: Log that Marvin has been changed and update the Shopping List to buy more diapers.
