Usability testing resources

Testing Notes: In the past we’ve done a mix of usertesting.com and in person or video usability testing (roughly 5-7 users a sprint). Occasionally this has included people who use screenreaders but we have not done a large push to research this audience. Users and devices have not been part of research segmentation in the past, but its recommended that in the future there is very intentional and segment by device, usability, technical competency, contractor vs. federal hire, pc vs mac, etc.

User Acceptance Testing (UAT): In addition to usability testing, UAT testing has been conducted throughout the development process. UAT testing is less focused on the usability of the system and more focused on finding bugs or regressions in the software. This type of testing is done less frequently than usability testing. Issues or bugs found during UAT are captured and tracked in an internal NBIS tracking tool. In 2018 and 2019 OPM and the Army have done a majority of the testing. In the summer of 2019 more agencies are being onboarded to test as part of the full Investigation Management testing process.

Feedback collection

This qualitative feedback form could always be attached on final page in the system after an applicant submits their form for continued qualitative data.
