Thursday: Test the Design for Everyone

Rocket proudly shows his helper plan. "It is perfect!"

Raven holds up a stack of user cards. "What do you notice? Let's check it works for each person."

Nova hovers beside her. "Read each card," she says. "Ask if your helper works for them."

User cards

Good designers test with many kinds of users.

A user card describes a pretend person who might use the helper.

For each card, ask: does my helper work well for this person?

User cardWhat to ask
A kid with a quiet voiceCan they use it as easily as a grown-up?
A crew member on the night sideDoes it work with dark photos?
A new crew memberCan they understand how it chooses?
A crew member who worries about privacyDoes it keep their information safe?
TEST THE PHOTO SORTER HELPER
  • Read the question.
  • Tap your answer.
The night side crew member uses it. Will it work?
A new crew member wants to know how it chooses. What helps?
A worried crew member asks if it wants their password. What is the answer?

Fix what you find

If a user card shows a problem, that is great news. You found it early!

Change your design, then test with the user cards again.

That is the same loop as Week 7: build, test, fix, test again.

THE DESIGN LOOP
  • ?Change the design.
  • ?Test again.
  • ?Find a problem.
  • ?Design the helper.
  • ?Test it with user cards.
WHY THIS EXERCISETesting with many users and fixing problems makes a helper fairer.
StatementTrue or false?
Testing with many kinds of users helps find gaps.?
Finding a problem means the design failed forever.?
A helper should work well for kids and grown-ups.?
Real AI is a tool people build, and it can be wrong.?
WHY THIS EXERCISEProblems found early help designers make a helper fair and reliable.
A pretend person who might use the helper is on a user ____.
After you change the design, you test ____.
Rocket's helper works for 3 of 4 user cards. How many cards show a problem? Type a number.
WHY THIS EXERCISE3 worked and 1 showed a problem. Now Rocket knows what to fix.
