Usability Tests

To evaluate the effectiveness, efficiency, and user satisfaction of the developed system, a series of usability tests were conducted.
The main objectives of these tests were to assess how easily users could complete tasks, measure the intuitiveness of the interface and gather feedback on the overall UX. Participants were asked to perform a predefined set of tasks while their interactions, completion times, and difficulties were recorded.

Given our app's automotive nature, direct interactivity should be minimal, as so, tasks need to be simple and fast. Most of our use cases are passive, as events are reported to the user. As so, we divided our usability tests on 2 parts.

Active tasks​

Simple tasks, where the user directly interacts with the app.

  • Change Colorblind option;
  • Change Weather Information display;
  • Deactivate "Overtaking" alerts;
  • Deactivate "Speeding" sound alerts (keeping visual alters).

With theses tasks, overall UI interactivity feedback was gattered.

Passive tasks​

Simulations of the developed events were shown to testers, and they needed to rate how understandable each event was, given that they were driving. Actuall road tests were not made, for security and reliablility reasons, that needs to be taken into consideration when analysing results. Alerts that were shown:

  • Speeding;
  • Overtaking;
  • Accident Ahead;
  • Weater Notification;
  • Emergency Vehicle Aproaching;
  • Navigation assistance.

Feedback was carefully gattered.
