Session Objectives

Understand what evidence needs to be produced for: Task D – Testing Your Multimedia Product Task E – Writing A User Guide

Task D

Task D requires you to test that your multimedia product works correctly,

Testing should be carried out in the same way as your web pages were - a test table should be produced with screen shot evidence to prove correct functionality,

Test all elements including: positioning, animation, sound, video and interaction – probably best to set you page to landscape,

To make it fair publish your project before testing so its fully stand alone and how it would be distributed to the client.

Testing In Different Environments

When your OPUS is published an .EXE file is created so testing it on different platforms is akward!

However we can still test under different situations including:

Different screen sizes Different operating systems Different specifications Interactive white board and touch screens

Mark Scheme

Band 1 (0 - 1 marks)

A test plan is produced to check the multimedia product meets the requirements of the design spec.

Band 2 (2 marks)

A detailed test plan is produced to ensure the product works and testing is carried out.

Band 3 (3 marks)

A detailed test plan is produced to test all aspects of the product and refinements are made if required

May be worth aiming for band 2 as 3 requires a lot more work for a single extra mark!

Task E

This task requires you to produce a booklet which shows users how to use your product

The booklet should make use of graphics and show the user how to install and use the product

The guidance is probably for the adults rather than the children who will use the product but we cant be certain:

ensure language used is adapted to suit the possibility that children may read the guide any dangerous steps are clearly labeled “GET YOUR ADULT TO DO THIS”

Task E – Suggested Structure Front Cover, Contents Page Purpose of Product

Why should you use the product? Who should use the product? What will you learn?

System Requirements OPUS minimum requirements, speakers, CD DRIVE??? (NO HDD space req)

How To Install If published to CD just put in drive???

How To Use The interface – what does each button do How to navigate around the system How to use any interactive activities e.g. Name Input, Drag and Drop

Troubleshooting Wont load, no sound, slow

Mark Scheme

Band 1 (0 - 1 marks)

Clear user documentation is produced that includes an explanation of the purpose of the product, system requirements, how to install and how to use it – can be text based at this level,

Band 2 (2 marks)

Clear user documentation is produced that includes an explanation of the purpose of the product, system requirements, how to install the product, how to use the product and how to solve technical problems. Some images will be used within the guide to clarify points.

Band 3 (3 marks)

Clear user documentation is produced that makes good use of graphics and has clear instructions on how to use. The guide will include an explanation of the purpose of the product, system requirements, how to install the product, how to use the product and how to solve technical problems.
