Computer Prototyping

For this assignment, we have developed a computer prototype of our final project for expert users to test. We have developed a prototype that is high fidelity in its look and feel, but still low fidelity in its breadth and depth (for instance, Our image handling is still relying on some canned photos of clothing), The objective of this prototype is to investigate our intended design, and confirm if this is the format we wish to use for our final project.

Accessing the Prototype

Our computer prototype can be accessed at the following website:

www.example.com

From this page, you should be able to create an account or log in, and then perform all of the major tasks outlined below. Experiment with the website and attempt to take advantage of all functionality it offers. The tasks below are the ones we have focused on including in the breadth, but this is still a prototype - additional functionality, where needed, is still an option. 

We have included a section on the high-level background and task analysis of our project here for our testers. Feel free to use this as a guideline if you are unsure of what tasks the website can perform. We have included some notes about limited functionality, when applicable, under the appropriate task; if something doesn't function as you would expect, you can check here first to see if the behavior was intentional or not.

Background and Task Information

Background

Placeholder One (Brief description of the website and its purpose).

Uploading the Wardrobe

Placeholder Two (This task is presently limited to only-online, for simplicity of design and interest in delivering a single, accessible project).

Requesting Advice

Placeholder Three (This is a task users should be able to perform, open and free-form (all user-generated content here)).

Browsing Requests

Placeholder Four (This is a task users should be able to perform, from testing users or from our canned requests).

Creating an Outfit

Placeholder Five (This is a task users should be able to perform, using canned wardrobes).

Browsing Responses to the Original Request

Placeholder Six (This is a task users should be able to perform, but note that we won't be automatically generating responses to our testing users' request, so they may have to explore other, canned answers).
