Title: Need volunteers!
Post by: aldo_14 on March 07, 2004, 12:42:01 pm

(To assist in usability testing my 4th year project)

Basically, I'm looking for 5-10 people to play around with my program, and fill in a questionnaire on how easy it is to use, etc.

The program itself is a game - to quote the specification - "Championship Manager for Speedway".

 I'm hoping to be able to do this over the next few days... it'd probably take at least 20 minutes of your time, although the more you can spend the better.  Cos it's fairly big in scope.  Ii'll shove up a downloadable file with the manual, the game itself and a (Ms Word) doc format questionnaire.

(to paraphrase a post on the uni newsgroup).

I've had a poor response from the other students because of the workload, and I'd like a diverse range of testers.  If you're interested plaease reply here.... this is semi-urgent (i.e. needs to be arranged over the next couple of dayss and done before Wed).  

The program is wrriten in Java, so you'll need at least V1.4.2 of the JVM to run it.  further info will be provided with the relevant files.

I know I haven't given that much feedback the last couple of times but  I should be able to try a little harder this time :)

i don't think i have any time/energy to spend aside from SCP testing, homework and getting healthy, sorry.

you might ask the SCP guys if you would be allowed to send an email asking for help to the testers on the beta tester list.

just an idea, i'm not promising or offering anything.

actually....I'm done.  :)

I'm writing up the last appendices of the report justnow, I'm really just waiting on a few people at uni sending results.

Thanks for offering, though.

If it's done, send it.  Otherwise, no worries.
