Embedded Files
Evaluating the success of your proposal needs to come from evidential data. This means that you'll need to design appropriate testing methods, cary them out and record then analyse the data in order to reach a conclusion. Once said and done, use these results to influence a proposed next step in the prototypes life cycle, the improvements.

You are constrained by your page number limit, so try to keep within the guidelines given:
D1: Justification of the Testing Strategies
D1 = Justify a testing strategy to measure the success of the prototype
D1 = Justify a testing strategy to measure the success of the prototype
D1 = About 1 page
D1 = Maximum of 200 words
Strategy
Strategy
You should order your testing from non destructive to destructive
Looking at your Specifications, how would you best test each of the main points
Use Topic 7 even if you are SL for guidance
Performance testing as well as user testing will be needed
Use Topic 5.7 to help direct you
Measure
Measure
How would you collect the data?
Which methods of presentation would suit the data collected?
When designing survey questions, how best to ask and which type of questions are most suitable?
You'll need to measure the success against the environmental impact too

For this subsection you may be better off tabulating your page.
Order of test
Specification you are testing against
The Testing Method you are proposing
Your Hypothetical results expected
Your Justifications for each test strategy
Hints: You should really start thinking about the testing whilst completing Criterion A3 specs.
D2: Evaluation against Design Specification
D2 = Evaluate the success of the prototype against the design specification.
D2 = About 3 pages
D2 = About 3 pages
D2 = Maximum of 300 words
D2 = Maximum of 300 words
Evaluate
Evaluate
Carry out each of the tests in order
Take photos to collect evidence of the tests being carried out
Reference the out comes of the test against the specifications
Don't cover the truth, if the test failed, say so
Evaluate the impact of the product on the user
Success
Success
You will need to carry out an evaluation of usability
Allow time for your user to test the product
Record evidence of this, speak to your teacher regarding the use of an appendix
Tabulate your results as such:
Spec point(s) to be evaluated

D3: Suggested Improvements
D3 = Demonstrates how the prototype could be improved, considering how individual improvements affect the design as a whole.
D3 = 2 pages of Annotated Drawings both digital and hand drawn
D3 = 2 pages of Annotated Drawings both digital and hand drawn
D3 = Maximum of 250 Words

List the critical faults highlighted in D2
Address these faults by redesigning those aspects.
Use hand drawing and CAD to explain and show the proposed improvements
Ideally use Rapid Prototyping to support your ideas.
