Testing

Testing to determine whether the guidelines and accompanying research presented a convincing case for adaptation and if researchers could envision multiple use cases for M.A.S.T.

Testing session with Robo Run

Participants in Testing Sessions

We tested with a total of five participants:

  1. 4 NASA Human Research Program (HRP) researchers
  2. 1 former flight controller


During these sessions, we showcased the five task qualities as well as information about our guidelines.

Feedback received on the task qualities in relation to the guidelines

We got feedback initially about the task qualities (either along or in relation to one of our tasks) and then presented M.A.S.T.. We received both general, overarching feedback on the manual as well as specific feedback on some of the guidelines themselves. We then compiled this feedback together and utilized it to inform the presentation of the manual. On the next page, there are some findings we gathered to showcase how we implemented the changes to M.A.S.T. and to our tasks.
