Usability Testing

To define the problem, I had to gather all my findings and notes to organise them all. At first, I physically began to write

down all the notes onto sticky notes and stick them up on a wall, but it was getting too much so I had to switch to doing it online. I used Miro to create sticky notes of all the findings and group them into appropriate categories. I much prefer the online method as it looked a lot neater and was easier to group.

I decided to categorise the sticky notes into different screens on the app - eg. homepage, results page, search page as this was how I structured my usability test, and how the usability test I watched was. I then colour coded the sticky notes so that it represents what notes are negative, positive, behaviour and goals.

Doing an affinity diagram was a great way to get a clearer structure of what my research helped me to achieve.

Airline one

Point one what was the goal.
Point two more about the goal
More again
