I create a google form for my testers to fill out for feedback about what went well/ didn’t go well with the mid fidelity prototype.

The form asked them specifics about the clarity, navigation, and overall design of the prototype. I had a total of 4 testers. Below is the task card I gave to testers.

Usability Testing Summary

My testers had difficulties navigating past the “tone of voice screen” and “themes” screens, so I combined them so that they could see their post change as they edit their themes and media.

Because the task flow has quite a few steps, I also added a progress bar. I also added more icons and text for clarity.

The high-fidelity prototype is complete. There is one task flow where users can create a post by implementing their own media and choosing a theme. This will create a generated video for them to make social media marketing easier for users.
