##Prototype test notes template

###Observations:

  • Observation 1
  • Observation 2
  • Observation 3
  • Observation 4
  • Observation 5

###Questions:

####Feeling and emotion

  • If you could describe your interaction with this product in one word, what would it be?
  • Pick one of these four words to decribe your experience.
    • smooth
    • bothersome
    • clean
    • clunky

####Discoverability

  • Were you able to quickly determine what actions were possible on this screen?

####Feedback

  • Did you feel like you received feedback about the results of your actions and the current state of the product?
  • After an action was executed was it easy to determine the new state?

####Conceptual model

  • Does the design project all the information needed to create a good conceptual model of the system?
  • Does it lead you towards understanding and a feeling of control?
  • Does it enhance both discoverability and evaluation of results?

####Affordances

  • Do the proper affordances exist to make the desired actions possible?

####Signifiers

  • Are we making effective use of signifiers (visual cues, i.e. CTAs) to ensure discoverability?
  • Are we making sure the feedback is well communicated and intelligible?

####Mappings

  • Does the relationship between controls and their actions follow the principles of good mapping?
  • Have we enhanced the mapping as much as possible through spatial layout and temporal contiguity?

####Constraints

  • Have we provided physical, logical, semantic and cultural constraints which guide action and ease interpretation?

####More feelings

  • After answering all of these questions, how do you feel about the product?
  • Would you use it?
  • Would you recommend it to someone?
