Zayna loves to play games. But, as she doesn’t get much time to play outdoor games, she spends her free time playing car racing on her computer. Recently her parents were looking for some games appropriate to her age. Coincidentally, Riseup Labs contacted them to participate with Zayna in the User Acceptance Testing (UAT) of the Sisimpur website and mobile apps at that time. Hearing about the popular kids show ‘Sisimpur,’ they decided to join the UAT.
Like Zayna’s parents, other parents also became interested in participating in the UAT. On Thursday, November 16, 2023, Riseup Labs conducted the UAT for the Sisimpur web and app in Collaboration with Sesame Workshop Bangladesh.
A group of enthusiastic children including Johayera, Zahir, Sahir, and others actively participated in the event, engaging with the website and mobile app across various devices, including mobile phones, Mac computers, laptops, and tablets. They tested the games, art, videos, storybooks, and other features of the web and apps.
The UAT aimed to evaluate the newly adopted User Interface and User Experience (UI/UX) and its compatibility with children, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience.
After playing and participating in the UAT, children shared their feedback with Riseup Labs. Sahir, an elementary school student, expressed his excitement and said,
This was so much fun! I loved the games and the art section. Specially ‘Khepu’s Trash Launch.’ The colors and characters are fantastic. I also liked the storybooks and videos. Can’t wait for it to play them again!
