  • You have already created a profile for your dog.
  • You are currently logged into the website.

Task 1 : Respond to the invitation from 'Lassy'

Task 2 : Search for dogs in your locality, and schedule a meetup with 'Cupcake'

Task 3 : Review a previous meetup with 'Allen'

Observations

Summary of User Testing:

Home Page
- There was a learnability issue with the "History" section since the intended use was not clear to the users. Users took
  time to understand that this section could be used to review previous meetups. One user clicked on the "History"
  title expecting to see all past meetups.
- Users suggested that your own dog's Profile Information need not be displayed at the top of the home page.

Search Page
- Search bar placeholder shouldn't only show an address. Two users felt that this they were expected to enter a complete
  address conforming to the placeholder rather than a general location.
- Multiple users suggested that the Search bar should have auto-complete capability for better efficiency

Schedule Page
- There were multiple learnability issues with this page. Multiple users struggled to use this page to schedule meet-ups,
  warranting a rework of this page.
- It was unclear as to which dog's schedule was being shown in the calendar.
- Having the Date and Time fields on the same page, but having auto-populate capability (by clicking on calendar) for only
  the date field and manual input for the time field confused the users due to inconsistency.
- The current day was not indicated on the calendar, further hindering the users while selecting a date for the meet-up.
- Users suggested having an auto-complete option for the location (based on previous entries / popular locations) along
  with an option for a pop-up with a map-view.

Profile
- There was a concern regarding negative reviews being shown on the profile page of a dog. One user was not comfortable
  having their name showing up along with a negative comment they posted for a particular.
- Additionally there was suggestion to show a simple rating which would be easier to compare dogs rather than having to
  read all the comments in the page to judge if the dog was a suitable match for their own dog.

Second Iteration

Profile Page
- It is unclear what the buttons on the list of upcoming events leads to
- Home page is too cluttered. He suggested removing the calendar and just keeping the list, or having a tab where you can toggle between list view in calendar just like how are search page is with the map
