I chose my product which is UMSI’s website for usability testing because I am a student at UMSI who would like to know what other people's perspective about my school site and how usable is it for them to use it. Furthermore, I am curious about how attractive and encouraging for them to show interest or maybe applying to UMSI in the future. Going into this assignment, I believe it needed improvements on its usability because people are not familiar with the website and I think it is necessary for making it as usable as possible to improve user experience. There is one of my participants feels like it would be better for the website to provide more details, images, and information about the university site as a whole, The University of Michigan-Ann Arbor.
I scoped my test based on full-time student audience varies from age 18 to 25 and combine all six components’ types of tasks. I used the task, five-second test, verbal response, multiple-choice, rating scale task, and written response from my research question or data collection table to test the usability of UMSI’s website. I worked with two other friends or classmates for this usability testing. The rationale behind running identical tests is because three of us can compare and understand better with participants about how usable for them viewing it and what do we need to improve our one and only UMSI’s website.
