Usability Test Script

Hello____________________________. I would like to welcome you and thank you beforehand

for taking this time to meet with me. My name is __________________________, and I am
going to administer today’s usability test.

As I mentioned beforehand, the goal of this usability test is to evaluate the effectiveness of our
Print User Manual and identify any usability issues. This test is being used for VT class research
purposes. Have you read the Consent Form and agree to the terms to participate?_____________

Great. If you have any questions or want to take a quick break, please let me know.

I am going to start by asking a few demographic questions.

What is your age: _______________________________________

Now, I am going to have you follow the steps in the Print User Manual, and attempt to log a food

perform the task in the way that is explained in the manual.
