What I coded and submitted as my test report was edited (had a portion deleted). I have asked why. I also spent extra time coding this so it could be copied and pasted into the team site. This was all redone too. Which I could appreciate if I hadn't had taken the extra time to code it myself.

1. I targeted the classmates in our class. I was extremely satistied with the reactions each person had of the site. Many of the suggested enhancements were ones I would have listed. 2. I had three groups that tested. I had two additional classmates not on the list that answered all the questions. I had one person, Amy McVicar of team SoCoFoSo, that didn't send in her review. 3. I had 12 in all. 4. I asked for information on their software, PC, monitor size and what browser they were using to make sure platforms were working ok. 5. Questions Asked: Clarity of Communication Does the site convey a clear sense of its intended audience? Yes No Does it use language in a way that is familiar to and comfortable for its readers?

Yes No Is it accessible to readers with physical impairments? Yes No Is there an easily discoverable means of communicating with the author or administrator? Yes No Consistency Does the site have a consistent, clearly recognizable "look-and-feel"? Yes No Does it make effective use of repeating visual themes to unify the site? Yes No Navigation Does the site use (approximately) standard link colors? Yes No Are the links obvious in their intent and destination? Yes No Is the navigation easy to use and do you always know where you are in the site? Yes No When you look for a specific item in the site are you able to quickly navigate to it? Yes No Design and Maintenance Does the site make effective use of hyperlinks to tie related items together? Yes No Are there dead links? Broken CGI scripts? Functionless forms? Yes No Is page length appropriate to site content? Yes No Visual Presentation Is the site moderate in its use of color? Yes No Does it provide feedback whenever possible? Yes No Your Comments and Suggestions 6.Summary An overwhelming majority of the students used PC (92%) and Firefox (83%) to perform the testing. Of the eighteen questions asked there were only two that had answers that were slightly different. Does the site use standard link colors was answered no by 16%. Is the navigation easy to use and do you always know where you are in the site was answered no by 25%. In the comments section 81% said they liked the site while 19% did not voice any opinion. Overall the comments did not group together as major issues. A few pointed out that the same color was used for links and text on the same page. Another said loading images with dial-up was very slow. And one pointed out that having a link to SRJC and Wells Fargo Center would have been nice. 7. I won't be be making any changes as I am the Content Developer. For enhancements, I would suggest making the logo's on the Corporate Partner's page to link to the actual site.

This was fun, and very educational. It's fascinating how some design points will irritate some viewers and are loved by others.
