Host 1:
Setup stage:
*confused by why "upload" doesn't do anything (expecting some feedback?)
*not obvious what private/public means (for group's' viewing permissions) - maybe use different words
*might want to add more groups
Reviewing feedback stage:
*after clicking on the floating general comment on the bottom right hand side, wonders how to un-collapse
*when filtering feedback, confused by X,Y comments vs comments list
*not sure about tabs, would expects entirely new content, not filter -> maybe use boxes checked/unchecked to indicate filtering
*didn't notice/understand version UI ("timeline" confusing); suggested thumbnails for different versions
Host 2:
Setup stage:
*Doesn't see how to drag and drop art. confused as to lack of feedback in dialog. wonders why it doesn't show art, unclear how to advance. wonders why the upload link shows on the left
*Trouble finding next step button “customize critique”
*then, back button “customize critique” confusing
Reviewing feedback stage:*Thinks timeline is a slider, would like to drag it to review feedback from different times, then tries to press it
*expects to see only comments pertaining to a specific version being viewed (good, this is the intend behavior)
*Doesn't immediately see who entered a specific comment
*wonders about the difference between annotations (comments localized on the pictures) vs overall comments on the right
*unsure how to filter comments by categories
*tabs are obvious
Host 3:
Setup stage:
*wondered if anything happens when dragging art into dotted square. Clicked upload after dragging art, confused about what the dialog box does, wanted to upload cat's photo again. didn't see anything happen after drag.
*not immediately clear how to get to the next step, but then found customized critique button.
Reviewing feedback stage:
*Hits friends tab first, taps technical comments, then general (never collapses)
*Presses mentor tab, accidentally erases checkbox on Technical.
*Clicks on URL in comment, but no UI for this
*wanted to slide timeline slider
*goes back to friends tab, then colleagues. satisfied things it's cool.
Reviewer 1:
*Tried to drag the timeline “cursor”, surprised cannot drag, thought timeline would allow you to drag
*Unsure which version they are on - marker highlighting under timeline not clear enough
*Does not understand what the bottom right box is for (this was the box to fill comments not localized on the artwork picture)
*Highlighted Categories on the left are confusing. Expected they would change the image (as a filter?)
*when making a localized comment: would expect to be able to select/change (within the enlarged “bubble”) which “category” it pertains to rather than picking the type on the side bar.
Reviewer 2: (tested by same person as Host 2)
*unclear that she can actually choose other categories (besides the one selected by default) on the left hand side. Thought that this comment markup area was for her comment
*confused about function of timeline
*no problem with star rating
*not obvious how to enter localized comments on picture (and this is after she knew that there was such a feature, from seeing the results as an artist reviewer), but then, cursors over to cat's face, able to enter comment.
*satisfies with bottom right comment UI
*POST button: would expets visual confirmation or dialog box for what it does – thought that entering a comment would already post it
Reviewer 3:
*Wonders what the “post” button does – thought comments appeared automatically, assumed she is done*looking for who requested feedback* *
*see cursor for comments
*knows to click under timeline
*notices difference between location specific and other comments
*thinks the color green (for “default” category) is “her” color, instead of color of category (in comments)
*wants to edit her comments (both localized on the picture, and the non-localized on the right?) – type but cannot currently.
*Side bar on the left not intuitive - thinks of it as filters for comments of a category
