User Based Evaluation Report
The document represents the final versions of the user’s evaluation reports which was due end of march 2021, two months after the intermediate intelligent management information system prototype. This user evaluation report is aiming at documenting the evaluation processes of the as well as the results as way of enabling the dissemination of data which was collected in the time of user evaluation as well as offering the opportunity of proper analysis of the feedback data from the user and using it for documentation purpose for continuous improvement functionalities as well as usability of the intelligent management system and also for debugging issues from the system.
The report is outlining the plans for the two cycles of user’s evaluation reports of the intelligent managements systems as well as describing the concrete steps which were taken in the time for evaluation process. It has established the background methodology which is has been applied in the two cycles for the user-based evaluation report of the intelligent management systems. It has concluded the overviews as well as the conclusion for the focus groups based on the user interfaces. The feedback from the user was very detailed, there several issues based on the usability, functionality, errors which were recorded. Usability issues were the major comments which were collected. There were no functionality issues recorded, which would be known as most users being contended with this systems offers at the time of development. There were several functionalities, significance as well as ranking of the generated results to the user query, overview as well as the workspace, which were shown by the test users as it needed enhancement in the first prototype testing. Other parts which needed improvements were, the user interface based on attractiveness as well as usability, the map view based on functionalities.
The task will be dealing with the planning as well as coordination with actual processes of users evaluation of all the system prototype. Based on this model, the focused group was organized on January 30, 2021. The conclusions as well as outcomes were communicated. There were seven kinds of user who were called to test as well as validating the system, they represent the target groups of the system. Professional editors as well as journalist, either freelance or employed permanently who may be having an interest in getting an overview of the news item based on the traditional medium as well as following the way they are received from the blogosphere. Citizen bloggers as well as journalist who are playing an important role in the processes of collecting, making analysis as well as dissemination of news. Public relations, communication as well as marketing professionals within communication as well as corporations’ agencies who have interest in brand monitoring as well as product perception in online news sources as well as blogs. Influence groups as well as policy makers like the lobby groups who are interested in making a follow up debate based on the current affairs as well as blogosphere. Media intelligence professionals as well as media monitoring and a subcategory on professionals who are specialized specifically in documentation as well as analysis of media content. Most academic researchers who have specialized in comparative media studies who have an interest in comparative analysis of contents in the traditional content media as well as media blogs. Testing and validation stages
The user validation relies on the technicalities of intelligent management system partners during the delivery of the two initial prototypes that is the basic and intermediate as well as the final prototype. The sessions for validations are scheduled soon after the release of the prototype particularly in the month of 20 February, 2021, 25 March, 2021, and 10 April, 2021 in order of their occurrence. The perception from the report is expected to assist the developers to be able to refine the various modules and gain extra insights into user needs as well as requirements. It became a necessity to shift the releases of the consequent user evaluation reports by about a month on the basis of delay in the development of the initial prototype. The delay caused a partial overlapping of the evaluation period within winter holiday sessions while it didn’t entail time constraints, this resulted into few weeks of inactivity based on organization of evaluation sessions, at the mid of the period of evaluation.
The procedures which were involved in the 3 evaluation cycles were significantly similar, in validating the intelligent management system, a group of users from every target group are provided with an integrated prototype by a way of graphical user interfaces to help in collection of information based on usability, functionality as well as stability of the intelligent management information system based on users’ perspectives. The factors include search capabilities (for example; search facility, retrieval/search performance, the proportionality as well quality of these source coverage, relevance/meaningfulness as well as precision of response user time effort) with the interfaces and documentations for example; user-friendliness, intuitiveness, user’s effort in learning when making use of the interface, quality, and importance of the documentations.
Objectives
The main objectives of developing the user evaluation report include; developing a suitable and detailed testing strategy which is based on the current research as well as better practices which provides the intelligent management information system project a professional validation plan, developing a plan which helps in validation of management information system product with users from every target group as well as an implementation plan, establishing a proactive identifiers of the possible problems, for example the indicator of ‘fail fast’ to prevent follow-up problems based on usability as well as issues based on functionality of inadmissible or a single module user interactions with the whole system, providing insights from testing as well as validation which helps the developers to develop innovative systems, which steers the project as a whole, thus ensuring the higher quality of the final product, developing a testing as well as validation process which is practical, simple and efficient, ensuring a higher visibility of the testing results which provides an insight to the developers for finalization for each module and the entire system configuration, disseminating the evaluation results very quickly to make testing more timely as well as meaningful for the developers, documenting the results for the validation processes for future references which forms a base for user training, establishing a good basis which initiates the next stage of the development cycle, ensuring that the completed end-product is going to comply with the established software and system needs, satisfying the policies, non-technicality standards, practices, procedures as well as conventions where appropriate.
The most significant basis of the user requirements as well as specification has developed the framework of the intelligent management information system particularly, the potential suer groups including citizen journalists as well as bloggers, professional journalist, communication professionals, policy makers. There were two other potential user groups which were identified like the media monitoring professionals as well as academic researcher which specializes in comparative medium studies, the scenario for every user’s group.
Scope of user evaluation
The basic of the user’s evaluation plans is to allow assurance of the functionality as well as usability based the on perspective of the user. In order to attain this goal, the validation should be contained together with verifications to some level. Validation methods can’t be used for identification software defects or tracking bugs, the practice is known as verification and it is done as the part of these individual practices. The verification method should be considered as separate method from user evaluation, they are purely of technological nature and so it can only be done by engineers as well as software developer, the user evaluations will be done by journalistic organization which have reduced engineering expertise, and so clarity on the practical benefits will be reaped from the intelligent management information system.
Nevertheless, successful accomplishment of the technical testing depends on the type of user evaluations, that is user’s interaction with founders of the prototype based on error message, system stopping as well as poor performance or sometimes breakdowns which aren’t due to human interaction, test users may frustrated at the beginning of the process, the confidence in the intelligent management information system will be undermined, and so very little and meaningless user feedback is going to be elicited, so the basic prototype should be technical as possible.
The technical assistance ought to be very standby during user testing in order to resolve the technicality issues and to provide assistance to questions which may arise based on the usability and operation of the system.
