TESTING AND DESIGN
Literature Review
Introduction
In the testing and design phase, the website’s design has been tested using various evaluation methods. It is very important for a website to focus on the principal of evaluation for designing a website. This section outlines the approaches that have been implemented for the evaluation of the overall website design and presents the findings and conclusions of the evaluation (refer to page). This will explain the connection of the implementation of the overall design, the expected outcomes and also the functionalities of the designs. Basically this section will further discuss the impact of these evaluations on the designs of the website.
The main reason for evaluation being implemented is that it helps to determine if the process is effective and what the further steps are to enhance the process. It contributes to take the necessary steps in making the website concepts and designs better. For different stages in design, there is different evaluation strategies carried out. Apart from that, testing phase provide useful feedback to a variety of audiences such as client, administrators, staff and also users. For this project, it helps to cater according to the end users’ usability level. The following sections will further discuss on the implementation and application of the evaluation. It compromises of;
a) Types of evaluation: Formative and Summative
b) Evaluation paradigms: Four paradigms and Heuristic
c) Evaluation models: DECIDE
Types of Evaluation There are many different types of evaluations depending on the object being evaluated and the purpose of the evaluation. In this report, formative and summative evaluation had been carried out. The following discusses further on these two evaluations. Formative Evaluation
A formative evaluation is a method for judging the worth of a program while the program activities are forming. This part of the evaluation focuses on the process
