1 Written summary f peer testing activities Tested grup: Xylphne Tested system: Htelzn htel bking system Time: Lcatin: Maari Duratin: Tester grup: Game On! Slutins Testers: Ism Lehmus, Antti Pihamaa, Tapi Auvinen Authr f this reprt: Ism Lehmus Peer testing prcedures The peer testing was executed by tw primary means f testing: Usability tests and Explratry testing using SBTM. Usability test prcedures All three testers were asked t execute heuristic evaluatin f the htel bking system. Instructins were t g thrugh all views f the system and investigate all heuristics n ne view at a time and then mve t the next view. All findings were written t papers which were given t Jhn Dannberg. Explratry testing The explratry testing was executed by the testers fllwing SBTM practices. The testers were given free access f the system and advised by Xylphne t test the system cmpletely but specifically n the flw f the system. While testing, the testers filled in a test charter t dcument their findings. A cpy f the test charter can be fund in appendix A. Summary f peer testing results All in all the system is currently in usable cnditin. It is able t prvide the functins that are needed but there still are quite a few annying defects in the system. These defects were mainly usability prblems and missing input validatin but als sme real bugs were detected. The detected bugs were reprted t the Xylphne s Bugzilla as instructed. Usability testing summary As nted in the previus chapter, mst prblems seem t be in the usability f the system. The usability prblems were detected using heuristic evaluatin and fund prblems with

2 the descriptin and a pssible slutin were written t paper which was given t Jhn Dannberg. Mst f fund prblems were nly minr esthetic glitches but als few bigger usability prblems were fund. Sessin based testing summary Cverage All aspects f the htel bking system were tested. The testers fcused n the flw f the system. Nt all pssible paths were tested because the number f cuntries and cities was t large. All the main cmpnents and functinalities were tested. Belw is the list f views that were tested. Main screen Searching fr a htel/rm Lking at htel inf Making a reservatin Searching / cancelling a reservatin Rugh evaluatin f quality Main screen Seems k Searching fr a htel/rm Seems fine but a scrll bar fr drp dwn menus wuld be nice. Als it s impssible t knw which city is which if there are many cities with the same name in ne cuntry. Lking at htel inf N extra inf n htel available. If user ges back frm viewing different htels available and searches with different criteria, the ld results may still be printed n the result screen althugh it is nt pssible t select them anymre. Making a reservatin This view has few serius defects. It desn t really have any input validatin. Fr instance the telephne number can be anything, even letters. Als the errr messages shuld be mre clear as they currently d nt tell which infrmatin was incrrect when trying t make a reservatin. Searching/cancelling a reservatin Searching fr a reservatin seems a bit awkward as it requires bth reservatin number and the the name f the persn wh made the reservatin. Is there a real reasn fr this r wuld either ne be sufficient?

3 Imprvement issues Sme imprvement issues nt recrded as bugs were fund: - N shrtcut t find a htel that is knwn befrehand - The clr shrtcut at the bttm f the page als as links s that they can be accessed withut actually using the clr buttns n the remte cntrl

4 Appendices Appendice A: Test charter Appendice B: Test charters f testers

5 Appendix A: Test charter 1. Tested areas Please test the fllwing functins: Make new reservatins in different htels, areas and different times Make nte f all made reservatins: First name, last name and cnfirmatin number. This is in rder t be able t delete the reservatins later. Search fr reservatins Delete reservatins 2. Gal and fcus The primary gal is t assess the verall flw f the system Is the system cnvenient t use? Are all needed inf included fr making, searching and deleting reservatins? Secndary gals are: Find bugs and minr glitches Prvide input n future develpment pprtunities 3. Apprach The nly tls yu need are ur prgram and the XleTView emulatr as described abve Please make sure all required functinalities are cvered in enugh detail. A suggestin f time divisin between functinalities is 3 hurs making reservatins ½ hurs searching fr reservatins ½ hurs deleting reservatins

If ne first checks htels in ne place (Washingtn, United States fr instance) and then ges back and checks htels in a smaller place (say, Palau), there still is sme f the htels in Washingtn mentined in the list.
