Process
1.) Test Platform
iPhone 5 - (Jailbroken)
MyFitnessPal Mobile Application
Display Recorder
Voice Memo
2.) The Test Sessions
I asked each of the users to perform three basic activities with in MyFitnessPal.
Set a goal
Log a meal
Check progress
Test session data was logged based on the following categories
The test data was then consolidated into one master table.
The data logged from each test session was mapped back to the MyFitnessPal UI in a storyboard format. This format enables a static view of the click path, user comments and insights gained from each user test. Each user quote or critical click-path event was mapped to an insight in a effort to give quantitative value to qualitative observations.
