Client Evaluation and Testing

Today I held a meeting with my client, Mr Young, to evaluate and test my product. The point of this was to gain valuable feedback from which I can apply to my product to achieve a more efficient and improved product. I held the client evaluation/testing before the target audience testing so that I could have two chances to improve my product from feedback.
To test my product we used the test guides that I had previously created which focused on navigation, animation and the quiz. Although I have not yet finished my quiz and imported my videos I believe that the feedback will still be vitally important.
Alongside the test guide I wrote a short page outlining the general points which were made by Mr Young throughout the evaluation.

Key points which I need to improve before the Test User tests:

• Prolong animation timings
• Ensure that there are 10 questions in my quiz
• Finish my quiz, including a final score
• Fix relevent buttons
• Change Tsunami page
• Add videos

I will try to complete these within the week.

Test Scripts

In time for my client and test user tests I have created a set of scripts which will guide the user in how to test and what they should be looking for.


I have seperated the testing into 3 stages:
1. Animation
2. Navigation
3. Quiz

This will give me a wide and easy to interpret set of feedback which I can use to improve my product. It will also make the testing stage much easier for my client and test users.

Video Making

17 February

Today I have added more animation into my volcano page. I have used shape motions and classic tweening to finish my interactive animation of volcanoes. Tomorow is the final day of term and on the 4th March is the deadline for my project to be handed in and marked. Over half term I need to 'fine tune' each page adding more animation and images. I then need to publish and link them to each other. During the first week back I plan to upload all of my documents to my e-portfolio.

Today we are breaking up for the Christmas holidays, over the holidays I plan to carry on with my project as much as possible to ensure that I meet the set deadlines.
Over the holidays I need to:

1. Update any of my work and improve from feedback
2. Carry on animating my flash product
3. Update my gannt chart (beginning of January)

09/12/10

Today I have started creating the Volcano flash page. I have created a new volcano with lava in so that I can use it as my interactive animation, I managed to put in a return button and background.

I have recieved help with animating my disasters page from Mr Preston (Senior Manager) and so I will apply this onto the page within the next week.

My idea is to create two interactive animations which will teach the structure and formation of a volcano. I feel this will be easier for both I and the user as trying to explain the structure and formation is difficult by text.

07/11/10

Today I have started on my thrid page in Adobe Flash (Disasters page) and I just need to finish animating the buildings.

I have also had a meeting with my Senior Manager and have been given new objectives to complete:

1. Re-cap making quiz on Adobe Flash by using the guide sheet on the VLE


2. Update my Gannt chart to show my current progress


3. Download Adobe Flash onto my own Laptop so that I can work at home
