Testing On Components - Voice / Understanding

We made our persona interact with the teaching assistant, in our co-operative evaluation the children talked with it and the teaching assistant replied.

Testing On Components

We split the body parts up and allowed them to work independent to see if it would be able to handle tasks; the personas got involved and found it a fun and interesting experience. From our requirement we were able to test for the key areas specified. The hand was able to throw a ball in the air and catch it. The hand component was also able to hold the children’s hand with a gentle squeeze. The legs were able to adapt to the children’s pace, on some tests it outran the children.

Here are some of the tests that we ran: - (Some will be documented in the next posts)
