VOOGASalad : User Testing

Each team should set up a few computers running the latest stable version of the project for people to user test.

A least one person from the team, the facilitator, should be present at each computer to record feedback from the people using the authoring environment. To get feedback, rather than asking for it, encourage the users to think aloud while they work, i.e., verbalize their thoughts as they interact with the software (the goal is to encourage users to keep a running stream of consciousness as they work). During these interactions, team members are allowed to answer specific questions from users, but not to explain how to use the authoring environment.

When you are not facilitating a user test, you should act as a user by visiting another team and trying their authoring environment to create some aspect of a game. Note, to get a variety of feedback, a team may ask you to try a specific feature of their authoring environment.

Everyone should take a turn being both a facilitator and a user.

Submission

Create a file called USER_FEEDBACK.md that records the feedback about people using the authoring enviroment and push it to the doc folder of the team's Gitlab repository at the end of class.
