Parts of a Reccomendation Report-

Introduction.
In the introduction, indicate that the document that follows is a feasibility report (or whatever it is called).

Technical Background.
Some feasibility reports may require some technical discussion in order to make the rest of the report meaningful to readers.

Background on the Situation.
For many feasibility reports, you'll need to discuss the problem, need, or opportunity that has brought about this report. If there is little that needs to be said about it, this information can go in the introduction.

Requirements and Criteria.
A critical part of feasibility and recommendation reports is the discussion of the requirements you'll use to reach the final decision or recommendation.

Discussion of the Options.
In certain kinds of feasibility or recommendation reports, you'll need to explain how you narrowed the field of choices down to the ones your report focuses on.

Category-by-Category Comparisons.
Remember that you include this section so that readers can check your thinking and come up with different conclusions if they desire.

Conclusions.
In this section, you restate the individual conclusions, for example, which model had the best price, which had the best battery function, and so on.

Recommendation or Final Opinion.
The final section of feasibility and recommendation reports states the recommendation.

Test Plan

• Project goals in which you describe what the goals for your original project are; in this case, your original project/product is your instructions.
• The goal of my instructions is to show someone how to stretch their ears in a safe manor. My set of instructions was useful to the reader by providing them with not only how to perform this task, but learn the risks and prevent damage to themselves. The user will have generally done some research on stretching before their attempt. All the user has to do is actually perform the tasks of my instructions, and follow them wisely. After reading my disclaimer they are well informed of what can happen and it is up to them if they would like to continue.

• Testing goals in which you explain what you want to learn from the test, what you hope to achieve.
• For my test I am going to focus on errors. Participants will be on different levels and by learning what the errors of my project are I can provide some information to be a bit more user-friendly. I hope to learn errors people had and when exactly they needed help. I believe I can make my set of instructions much better by fixing my errors and providing more information that is needed.
  

• Scenarios and Tasks in which you detail the hypothetical situation and tasks which you will give your test participant to perform.
• You went to the mall today, saw tapers, and decided to buy them. You've seen people with stretched lobes and thought it would be nice to have them but have never taken the first step, but by buying your first pair of tapers, you just did. Now its time to get informed and do what you've been waiting for. You've heard that there can be some damages to your earlobe if you are not careful and that's when you stumble across this site. You see that it explains everything that can happen and how to prevent traumatizing your ear so you decide you still want to go through with stretching your ear. I will ask the reader to go through the site as if it were a real life situation and they were actually stretching their lobe and have them write down their thoughts and any errors or points at which they needed help. I will then have them come back to me and see if they were successful.
  

• User Profile in which you explain the type of user which you expect will be using your product.
• The users are typically young people interested in body modification. The users will want to modify their body and go straight to their desired size but they will learn from the disclaimer that doing that will have undesired results.The user has probably had their ears pierced and has already dabbled in body modification. If a mistake is made all the user has to do is take the taper out and go back to the original size and allow their ear to heal for about a month. All the user has to do afterwards is be gentle with their ear and wash their hands everytime they touch their earlobe.

• Testing Materials in which you detail what you will need to have to conduct your test.
• I will be taking notes by hand while asking questions and will have a questionnaire for the participants which they will fill out when they are performing the task at hand. Since they will most likely be in front of a mirror not a computer while they are stretching their lobes i will also give them a paper version of the site.
  

• Testing Protocol in which you provide step-by-step specifics as to how you will conduct the actual test.
• I will have 10 participants. We will meet and each of the participants will look at the site, i will then give them a printed out copy of the site and the questionnaire. I will tell them to detail any errors, and times they need help or have a question. They will then go off and perform the task where they wish and we will meet back in an hour. I will then gather questionnaires, interview them for about 10 minutes each to see if there is any other information i need to know. After the test, I will provide the participants with a list of corrections, I am going to make to the instructions and ask if anything else needs to be added. I will then inform them that the site will be updated with the revisions in the next couple of days.
