## 9-0 Timeline and Resource Considerations

### Pre-Testing Phase (2-3 weeks):

- User identification and contact
- Schedule coordination across multiple participants
- Testing environment and materials preparation
- Data collection tools setup
- Contingency planning for common issues

### Testing Phase (1-2 weeks):

- Multiple testing sessions with different users
- Consistent data capture across all sessions
- Real-time problem solving and adaptation
- Professional user management and communication

### Post-Testing Phase (1 week):

- Data compilation and analysis
- Results documentation and reporting
- Evidence-based recommendation development
- Final documentation preparation

## Key Progression Indicators

**Students achieving higher levels will demonstrate:**

- More sophisticated **planning** with comprehensive test scenarios
- **Multiple users** and **diverse data collection methods**
- **Detailed, professional documentation** of all phases
- **Thorough evaluation** of recommendations against testing evidence
- **Clear, evidence-based justification** for all decisions

**All students must demonstrate:**

- **Systematic approach** to beta testing process
- **External user engagement** (minimum 2 users)
- **Professional documentation** of results
- **Evidence-linked recommendations** for solution improvement

**Success depends on:** Early planning, professional user engagement, systematic data collection, and evidence-based analysis leading to justified recommendations for solution enhancement.
