CONDUCT TESTING ON THE FINISHED INTERACTIVE MEDIA PRODUCT
00:00 - At this point in time, I am opening the app from the device home screen. You can see my App icon and loading screen for the app. This shows you how long the loading time of the app is. You can clearly see that it is quite quick, this is because all of the images are optimised so they don't take up much storage and the app is quick to load.
00:02 - At this time, you can see me using the home screen. You can clearly see the text on the page and the background is correctly optimised for the device screen size. You can also see the interactive menu at the bottom, this shows all of the different pages which are available in my app. This also shows that functionality works to a high standard and the app is easy to use for my target audience. This also shows the load times for the pages as I go to the next page by clicking on the menu at the bottom. This also shows how the user interaction is (very easy), which is what the client wants.
00:06 - At this time, I go to the next page, this page is the map page. This page has a background, text and a map (Interactive Feature). The background is clearly optimised for the phone screen size at it perfectly fits on the page. It is also optimised because the loading time for this page is really quick. The map is at the bottom of the screen, this takes a bit longer than the other features on the page to load but it is still very quick. Within the map I included a few different features, the map is already right on Cambridge, so you don't have to zoom in manually. There is also a pin which I created, this states - "Cambridge, Let your journey begin here:", this makes it clear where Cambridge is and where you should be.
00:17 - This is where I go to the next page, this is the information page within my app. On this page I have a Background, text and a video. The background is clearly optimised for the phone screen size at it perfectly fits on the page. It is also optimised because the loading time for this page is really quick. Also the video is embedded from YouTube, this means it is quick to load and it is optimised for the app. You can also view the video in full screen which makes the user experience much better. Also, you can see me scroll through the text which is another form of user interaction.
00:40 - This is the page where it covers the Grand Arcade, this is one of the main shopping centres within Cambridge. In this section I have Text, Images and a background. The background is clearly optimised for the phone screen size at it perfectly fits on the page. It is also optimised because the loading time for this page is really quick. The images used are also very optimised as they fit perfectly on the app and the loading times aren't compromised.
00:43 - This is where I go to the next page, the page I go to is the visits page. For this I had to go into a separate menu which helped me to have more icons as they couldn't fit on the menu at the bottom. On this page I had text, images and a background. The background is clearly optimised for the phone screen size at it perfectly fits on the page. It is also optimised because the loading time for this page is really quick. The text also features a scroll, this is another form on user interaction which is what the client asked for.
00:50 - This is where I go to the quiz page, this has many different features, but none of them limit the loading time for the page as they are optimised. The different features are, background and the quiz itself. The background is clearly optimised for the phone screen size at it perfectly fits on the page. It is also optimised because the loading time for this page is really quick. Also, the quiz is clearly optimised as the loading time is quick, also you can see that the app works as I use it.

Test Plan:
To test my app I will have to create a test plan, to do this I will ask some of my target audience to look and use my app and see if it works. This will give me feedback of what the target audience and users want to see in my app. To do this I will create a questionnaire and also video.
The Questions I will ask and reasons:
The questions above cover the functionality of my app, they will help me to understand if my application is working internally and externally through navigation and wether the content loads okay and isn't slow.
The question above will help me to be informed about the usability of my application, it will tell me how easy the app is to navigate and if the app is simple enough for the target audience to use.
The question about is to help inform me about user interaction, this means that my interactive features (Map, video, scroll text and quiz) are working correctly. This is what my client wants so this must be in working conditions for my app to meet the clients brief.
The question above is about completeness of my application, this is to make sure that my application is complete and ready for an open market. This is important as if it doesn't look finished than it wont appeal to my target audience and then it doesn't meet my client's brief.
The question above covers the accuracy of my application, this makes sure that my app is accurate and there isn't any issue regarding this. This is important as the accuracy must be correct because if it isn't then I will be giving an audience false information.
The question above covers the accessibility of my app, which means how easy is the application to use. This is important as the app must be easy to use as the target audience is quite broad, so there will be many people of different age ranges, so the app needs to be easy for all of them.
The question above is about the performance of my application, and how it is optimised on the platform. This is important as the performance of the application has to be good, or it will become hard to navigate an the app will be unusable.

Survey Monkey:
Responses:
Summary of Feed Back:
As a result of my feedback, there were only a few issues which were found in my application. But most of the responses were positive, this is because U completed my application to my best ability. The issues which were found were font was a little bit small in some places, this was because my application held a lot of information and it needed to be small so it would fit on the screen. Another issue was the backgrounds weren't very exiting. However, I believe that this minimalist appearance will appeal to my target audience more as it is less distracting. But everything else was positive infomation about why they like my app or why it would be an except-able app.
What you will change in the app as a result of the feedback?
As a result of my feedback from my Survey-Moneky and my audience feedback video, I will need to change some things with my app. In the audience feedback video, Hannah said that the font was a little bit small, but she understands why as I have a lot of text. So, to improve on this issue, I will go back to Xcode and change the size of the font. This will make the app better as the words will be more readable and easier for my audience to use. To make sure that the fonts are correct and easy to read, I will have a member of my target audience with me whilst I create the app and they can help me decide wether it is readable or not. This will make the app better and the Client will approve of it more.
There wasn't any other feedback which I received which would suggest that anything else needed changing, so once the text and font is changed my app will be completed and it can be used by a wide audience.
How you made these changes?
So, to change the font and text, I will have to go back into Xcode. I will select the text's which need changing and select a larger font. Then I will format the boxes and text so it fits the app correctly. To make sure that the text and font are easy to read, I will have to get someone who is from my target audience and have them chose some fonts which will make the app look good and also make the text readable. This will overall improve the application and make it better for my target audience, also the client will approve of the final product more considering that it has been intensely tested before it has got to them. This means that the app is more complete and looks as professional as possible.
