User:JKlein (WMF)/guerilla-user-testing/Adding+EditingLinks-May2019

Overview:

 * Share: Why we are doing this test
 * Share what the test will involve:
 * There will be a few tasks you will try completing
 * While you're trying to complete them, please do your best to "think aloud" about what you are thinking, doing and feeling
 * As you are doing this, I will be filming your hands and the device you are testing on
 * Introduce the test (see Introducing the test)
 * Get consent before the test begins (see Before the test begins)

Background:

 * This year, our team is working to help contributors be more successful editing on mobile, using the mobile VisualEditor.
 * What you're about to see is a new design pattern intended to make adding and editing links within articles simpler and more visible
 * This is a test to help figure out whether this current design does in fact make editing links within articles simpler and more visible
 * After this test, we will look back at the footage to figure out what parts of the designs needs to be revised

More info: VisualEditor on mobile/Edit cards

Important points to get across:

 * This a test of the editing interface, not of you
 * This test is intended to identify core usability problems
 * Please do your best to "think aloud" – if you're not sure what to do next, if something is confusing, if something was surprising, please say something!
 * I (the observer) am going to do my best to resist saying anything while you're testing, so if I'm noticeably silent, this is why :)

Confirm the following with each tester:

 * 1) Are you okay with me filming your hands and device as you complete the test?
 * 2) Are you comfortable with me sharing this recording with our team?
 * 3) Are you comfortable with me sharing this recording on MediaWiki?
 * 4) Are you open to being contacted by our team later, should we have more questions for you?
 * 5) If yes, what is the best way to get in contact with you?

Adding a link
''Imagine that you are on a bus reading an article about a fancy pencil. Right away you notice that you can add a link to the word "pencil" in the first paragraph of text. How would you do that?''
