Press release #10: J5 Releases Evaluation Report

Blacksburg, Va., April 17, 2015 – After evaluating their application, J5 has released a report to the public on their findings!

Team member Daniel Rusz said “We conducted an evaluation of our App and received very helpful results on the usability of our application from the users who tested our application”.

J5 selected six participants that were interested in the Gaming Social Network and had them run through various tasks to see which features were good and where they could improve. In their report, they include several examples of important fixes to the prototype that their users wanted to see before the application launched.

Team member Lucas Eckert said “We had to evaluate the matchmaking aspect of our application and we learned about some key features we should implement”.

J5 ran simulations of two new users adding each other on the Gaming Social Network and then selected a game to play together with the evaluation participants. They found that the volunteers generally enjoyed the fact that they could play with other local gamers that they had not had a chance to meet in person.

With the prototype tested by the public, J5 will edit their application to meet the expectations of their users before they give a presentation on Monday, May 5th at the Moss Arts Center.
