2025-03-06 Explore how we can test branching journey in the prototype-kit

[christophercameron-ixd]

What was added or changed in this version

As part of the work for Trello card: 2167 I have added a new routing/branching journey to the prototype for testing.

The journey covers:

• addition of ‘Route 1’ creation and previewing
• new journey to add ‘route for any other answer’ with some working preview functionality
• new playback of added routing to ’your questions’ list page
• new playback of added routing to a new ‘question X’s routes’ summary page using summary card components

The designs are taken from the Mural board: Journey one - aka ‘design 3’ of testing

Some things to consider when checking

• Does the functionality work enough to cover basic user testing?
• Are there any immediate issues, bugs or unexpected behaviour that should be resolved before testing?
• Are there any typos or missing content that needs to be added or addressed?

Known limitations

• when previewing a form the prototype will try add the questions the person sees/submits but if they change the routing answer when they arrive on the CYA screen they will still see the questions that might not be relevant to the route
• when pressing the back link after going through a skip route, the link takes you back to the previous question in numbered order not necessarily the last (routing) page you saw

Known divergence between prototype and development

• editing questions still shows the ‘check your question’ screen with the option to save and preview a question as an in page preview
