Product testing


Test Plan




I don’t have any results since I didn’t create a survey for a class to fill out, but I did create a poll where three people voted “good”, two people “I don’t know” and 2 “bad”


Investigation Stage


In the Investigation stage, I didn’t include a lot of information about my product and the situation itself. I gave many sources of information that are related to the topic and tried explaining them. I also included websites, which were explained and discussed what they consist of. This was very important because I’m creating a website. My aim wasn’t explained in detail, nor did I write the intention of the website.


Design Stage


For the design stage, I didn’t use blogger templates, instead I used iWeb templates, which wasn’t a very a good idea since my final product would have to look similar to the final design I chose. I somehow managed to create a similar design to the iWeb template.
I included the design specifications and explained why one design is better than the other and why I chose my final design instead of the others. My design specifications weren’t that clear and in detail, but they explained how I want my design to be and what I need to achieve these specifications.




Plan Stage


I didn’t include much information about the process of my website. I included some points that are important for the outcome, but didn’t go in detail. I explained the steps and why they must be included. I included some bullet points that mark the process of the whole website. The points were more or less general and didn’t explain everything step by step. 


Create Stage


I didn’t really use the process journal, I explained about my progress on some days, but I finished almost all of it during the double lessons in school, so I didn’t have much to write. Also, I didn’t include many pictures about the process of the website. I don’t have any proof that I did something on exactly that day and that I changed something. I included 15 process journal entries, but they didn’t include any screenshots of my process.




Evaluate Stage


I haven’t evaluated myself against the criteria that was given, what I did though is finish my website way ahead of time with all the information needed. Pictures and improvement screenshots were added later, since the information was more important at that moment. I added all the pages that I mentioned in the Design stage. In the design stage, I mentioned that pictures are important for the website to make the whole project seem interesting, during the process of the website, I found out that it doesn’t look better and that I would prefer the website to only include text, I included some pictures on certain pages (mentioned in the process journal). What I did is I create the website way ahead of time, and finished way ahead of time. This is one good thing because I was able to then look over the work I have done, correct mistakes, test the links, etc... 


Areas for future improvement


The way my product was tested was by controlling the people who accessed my website (almost) everyday. I got more than 400 views from around the world (highest views from Austria). Many people didn’t leave any comments or critics about the website, meaning they were only interested in the information that was on it. I won’t take the website down, I’ll keep it on there if more people want to seek information about cyber bullying. I won’t be adding more information nor will I change anything about the information. Maybe I’ll add some more posts and keep track with the views I get. I will also answer questions that some people might have if they contact me. For the future I would probably make survey and ask people to rate my website, I did a poll and asked people to vote. The main vote was that my website is good (5 people voted) and moderate. So I haven’t completely failed the assignment, neither did I accomplish the goal of creating a successful product.
I definitely didn’t ‘solve’ the problem since this problem is unsolvable. I tried to show people what might be happening to victims, bystanders and bullies. There are many different solutions available for different ages, but no one can solve cyber bullying unless ALL electronics get destroyed which will never happen.
Also, I have chosen the wrong topic since I can't solve cyber-bullying... I was meant to choose a topic/problem that I would be able to solve (tutoring, solving homework problems, etc...).
