In order to evaluate our product with our participant a user test plan is conducted. Through this process, we can explore our participant’s behavior when interacting with our product. This will eventually help us with further improvements in our future  design process.
Unfortunately due to limited time we were not able to execute this test plan in time, we will however still execute this plan in the future. 

​

Test objectives: to analyze if our product will help the user to maintain stability while stretching his legs in horse position
