Prototype Testing and Data Collection Plan
In Element H, we started planning out how we were going to test the prototype. First we had to outline what exactly we wanted to test. We developed our criteria from our previous list of design specifications and prioritized the items that were most imprtant to us that our solution have. Then, we outlined the document that we would use to collect out testing data.
Many people don’t get the water they should, often because they are uneducated about how much they should drink or forget to drink. According to a survey sent to students and teachers at a school in 2022, about half of the people drink less than half a gallon. Additionally, research shows that 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated, and factors such as thirst, the temperature of water, the convenience of drinking it, and other psychological, behavioral, and environmental influences impact how much water people drink.
