Testing


We need to carry out a test plan which provides a checklist of all the functionality in the program. So that, it helps the testers to testing the web with consistent.


There are three types of problems which are design flaws, content errors and software / system defects.


We also need to carry out several kinds of testing includes functionality testing, layout testing, load testing, link testing and usability testing.


Evaluation


Evaluating websites means determining whether or not they are 'good'. Two types of evaluation which are formative evaluation (need modification & ongoing process) and summative evaluation.


There are several kinds of tools in evaluation. Some of them are observation, interview. survey, focus group, analyse, report, dialogue with users, form, checklist or rubric.

Week 12 : Presentation Web Project


During prototype presentation, each group have to present at least 40% of the web project. We are given an evaluation sheet that consist of 3 parts which are Information Design, Interaction Design and Visual Design.


Here are some comments for our group:-


1) Put some simulation to attract students.


2) Too much text. Need to use 'visualization' to represent elements


Thank you so much for all the comments. So after the class end, we sit together among our group members and discuss for a while.


So, it is my responsibility to find appropriate games for simulation and put the tutorial given into the concept of 'visualization'.
