3.  Formulate a Design Specification      (Create a Design Specification and Tests to Evaluate your product)

"A design specification is a series of statements that describe the possibilities and restrictions of the product."  They are important for determining the quality of the product.  Every item included in your design specification provides a test point.


Some language that might be helpful at this stage of the project is:
My design will need to . . .
The requirements of the people who will use it are . . . 
It will also need to do the following . . . 


We brainstormed possible design specifications for this project.  This is what we came up with.


Design Specification Ideas:
1.  Error Free
2.  Professional (attractive/eye-catching/appropriate)
3.  Relevant/complete
4.  Accurate (for the character)
5.  Materials
6.  Geared toward target audience.

Tests to evaluate your product -


Introduce this with a sentence such as:  


To evaluate my product I will create a questionnaire.  On a scale of 1 to 5 (1 = awful and 5 = awesome) I will ask the following questions.  Then create a questionnaire.  You will create at least 1 question for each design specification.

Learning Objective: produce a listing of detailed specifications, identify ways of testing a solution on a specific audience or the intended user.
