Students design tests to evaluate the solution, carry out those tests, and objectively evaluate its success. Students identify areas where the solution could be improved and explain how their solution will impact the client or target audience.
Testing (REQUIRED)
Give a brief account of testing methods used to evaluate the design using your final product drawing against the design specifications/success criteria, assessing how successful the product is. (Tinkercad only if it applies)
(For those students who have an incomplete TinkerCAD drawing, please use your Biv Chosen Design Idea drawing)
Authentic testing of your design can be completed through the use of questionnaires as one example. Google Forms can be used or Survey Monkey, but you must include the questions sent out, who you sent them to and the answers.
You do not draw any conclusions at this stage, only gather data/information based on testing.
When displaying the results of your testing completed, please consider using the following methods: pie chart, bar chart, radial chart, tables and line charts; you also have the option of video recording tests completed or taking photographs/screenshots.
IMPORTANT: THE TEST(S )COMPLETED MUST BE LINKED TO THE SUCCESS CRITERIA PRODUCED
Success of solution (REQUIRED)
This is the section where you evaluate each of the individual results/data collected from testing in Di and start to draw conclusions backing up these conclusions with evidence.
The student gives a brief account how the solution fulfills the design specifications / success criteria referencing the results of testing, highlighting positive feedback.
When displaying the results of your testing completed please use the following methods: pie chart, bar chart, radial chart, tables and line charts; you also have the option of video recording tests completed or taking photographs.
IMPORTANT: YOU CANNOT SIMPLY SAY IT IS GOOD OR BAD YOU MUST STATE WHY AND REFER TO THE EVIDENCE RESULTS WHICH ALLOW YOU TO REACH THIS CONCLUSION
REMEMBER THE SOLUTION IS YOUR TINKERCAD or Biv DRAWING OF THE SHOEBOX WHICH HAS BEEN TESTED AGAINST THE SPECIFICATION
(For those students who have an incomplete TinkerCAD drawing please use your Biv Chosen Design Idea drawing)
Improvements (REQUIRED)
Give a detailed account, mentioning reasons, of how the solution could be improved. Remember to link in any conclusions reached with testing and data collected which will act as evidence.
Try to make links between the specification point, testing completed for that specification points, results of the testing and conclusions reached after analyzing the data. All of the points will then enable you to make suggestions as to how the Sustainable Shoebox could be improved.
Impact (REQUIRED)
Give a detailed account including reasons about the impact of the product on the client/target audience. This should summarize the key points taken from product testing and must reference the students design situation and client / target audience.
NOTE: IT'S ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA TO ACTUALLY INTERVIEW YOUR CLIENT/TARGET AUDIENCE AT THIS STAGE TO GAIN THEIR FEEDBACK/OPINIONS
EVIDENCE, EVIDENCE, EVIDENCE, EVIDENCE!!!!!! If you make a statement ALWAYS back it up with evidence from testing or evidence gained by some other means such as a questionnaire or research completed.
