We continued to improve our Prototype. We added info square about the interesting places nearby while on the route.

Heuristic evaluation

Phase 1:

We are going to use Nielsen’s heuristics.

The results of our individual evaluation are available here.

We tested the prototype of group Veritas.

We used Imgur to upload our screenshots.

A summary of important issues can be found here.

Here is also the Anwendungsfall:

Anwendungsfall 1 – Starte eine Routenführung:

Herr Mustermann ist vor wenigen Wochen für sein Studium nach Berlin gezogen und möchte jetzt seine Nachbarschaft erkunden. Er kennt sich nicht sehr gut in der Umgebung aus und möchte an seinem freien Tag einen Spaziergang mit kulturellen Entdeckungen verbinden. Er hat für den restlichen Tag keine Verpflichtungen mehr und möchte den Tag draußen verbringen. 

Aufgaben:

1. Erstellen Sie sich zunächst einen Account für die App.
2. Starten Sie eine neue Route und füllen Sie die notwendigen Felder bzgl. dieser gemäß Ihrer Präferenzen aus.
3. Wählen Sie eine geeignete Route durch swipen aus (links: ja, rechts: nein)
4. Starten Sie die Navigation
5. Unterwegs haben Sie einen interessanten Ort gefunden, welchen Sie gerne als Ort speichern möchten. Fügen Sie diesen in der App hinzu.

Phase 2:

Evaluation of Group 7’s prototype by each group member separately.


REFLEXION:

WHO MADE WHAT CONTRIBUTION?

For Phase 1 we met in a WebEx meeting. We made some improvements to our prototype. We all together discussed what we are going to send to group 7. We wrote the Anwendungsfall and made a Google form which will serve as a heuristic evaluation which members of group 7 would have to fulfill for us. In the form we also included our prototype and Anwendungsfall. Once we receive the form from Group 7, each of us separately goes through their Figma prototype and conducts heuristic evaluation for group 7.

WHAT DID YOU LEARN?

We have learnt about heuristic evaluation, specifically Nielsen’s heuristics. Apart from getting ourselves theoretically familiar with the concept, we also had hands-on experience of the whole process and we find that very useful. It makes it easier to understand. 

WHAT WENT WELL?

We like the teamwork and load balance we share between ourselves. We are still satisfied with how we do the task division – mostly we do it together and if an individual tasks appear – we afterwards share opinions and thoughts.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO IMPROVE?

There is nothing we would like to improve, since we are pretty much satisfied with how it went, both content wise and atmosphere wise.
