Level 3 Team Project - Pre and Post-Test Questionnaires

To compliment our test artefact, pre and post-test questionnaires have been compiled to be filled in by candidates at the start and end of our test process.

The pre-test questionnaire aims to collect information regarding the candidates background with games, what aspects of them they enjoy the most and which type of genre they play the most. With this insight, we're able to see which candidates are more interested in items such as Gameplay over Narrative and compare the results given in the post-test questionnaire on this basis.

The post-test questionnaire asks candidates directly how they felt towards the non-playable character in our test at different areas throughout our test. By using a scale for candidates to plot their answers on, we're able to gather quantitative data that can be analysed once our tests are complete. To back this quantitative data up, some questions include space for candidates to further elaborate on why they plot where they did on the scale.

Both documents have been compiled by me after analysing the research Steve had performed into existing tests and questionnaires. This research proved useful as it gave us both ideas of how we could record our data and what sort of questions we could ask. All other members of the team have looked over the questionnaires and have made edits where necessary.

Level 3 Team Project - Week 23

This week the team performed our fourth milestone presentation, supposedly showcasing our final level build. Unfortunately, due to certain team members missing the deadlines of their assigned tasks, the presentation ended up a disappointment to both assessors and students. As with Milestone II, no preparation was made by milestone presenters which (once again) led to an untextured, unfinished run-through of what was promised to be our final build.

Thankfully, the team also received feedback for the Test Planning presentation performed the previous week. Lecturers were generally happy, suggesting the team could have scored higher if we had gone into more detail in regards to the pre / post-test questionnaires and the methods of analysis we plan to utilise. Overall, the team received an A (70) for our third milestone.

In the next week, I will be assisting with our level build and will aid in finishing any outstanding tasks not completed by other team members already working with the level. Ideally, this level build will be complete and fully functioning for Monday morning, allowing us to dry run our test process in the project room.
