Team:SJTU-Software/Project/UserStudy
From 2014.igem.org
2.3 User Study
2.3.1 Goal
User studies are carried out to make our software “Easy BBK” to be more user-friendly. Based on the problems exposed in the test process of different users and their feedbacks, our developers can track the bugs and add new functions in the development of software.
2.3.2 Users
9 members from SJTU-bioX-Shanghai and some members from SUSTC-Shenzhen were invited to use our software. All of their operations are recorded in video and researched later to figure out problems or highlights in our software.
2.3.3 Highlights and problems fixed
Since we have focused mainly on the problems in our software during those studies, highlights are briefly recorded here.
• The search result offered by the search engine are quite satisfying
• Novelty of "Present"
Most problems identified during user studies were solved before wiki freezes; however, there remains some problems unsolved. Those problems which are not solved now are to be solved later, and we will continue conducting user studies to refine our software.
Problems solved by October 17th
