So, here's the deal. I had to give a small test to someone and see how accessible my test site was for them. I used http://www.youtube.com as my test site, a popular and pretty accessible site, and my sister as my test subject. Here are the tasks I gave, as well as questions I asked:
Task: Find the categories of videos on Youtube
How easy was this for you (scale of 1-10, 10 being very easy): 8
Task: Locate the video "Jimmy: The World of Warcraft Story"
How easy was this for you (scale of 1-10, 10 being very easy): 10
Task: Locate the Show "Mr. Bean"
How easy was this for you (scale of 1-10, 10 being very easy): 8
Task: Pick any Channel and locate the Uploaded videos to this channel
How easy was this for you (scale of 1-10, 10 being very easy): 8
Questionnaire:
1. How easy was the site for you, when you needed to find things?
Very easy, its well laid out, and I could find things almost instantly.
2. What do you think of the new layout for Youtube?
I like the front page, it has some great suggestions and makes the site even easier to use, especially when I just want to watch random videos.
3. Would you recommend Youtube to a friend based on your experience with its user-friendliness?
Definitely. There are some other sites for videos, but none have as many as this, and plus they can be so annoying to navigate. I hate when some have ads everywhere, blocking what I need!
4. Were there any steps that were a little hard?
On the Channels, it took me a sec to find the videos for them, but it wasn't bad.
