Test the moment between visits

A mobile website is useful when it lets you finish the next task on the device you have. It should not require a return to the laptop for an ordinary note or follow-up. Use a fictional participant and repeat the real sequence at phone size.

A practical phone test

  1. Find the participant without searching through unrelated records.
  2. Read the latest relevant note and identify the next action.
  3. Create a new note with the right date and actual duration.
  4. Attach an appropriate file and check it opens.
  5. Save, leave the screen and confirm the record is there.
  6. Create a follow-up with an owner and due date.

Check the keyboard, field labels and error messages. A form that fits in a screenshot may still be difficult to complete once the keyboard is open.

Check interruption and connectivity

Ask what happens when a call interrupts the task or the connection drops. Do not assume a web app has offline access. Know how the system indicates an unsaved draft and a completed save before using it away from a reliable connection.

Keep the device part of the privacy process

Use your practice’s device security settings and work in a private place. Check the recipient before sharing a document and avoid leaving participant information visible in a parked car or public area.
