JUMIA EXPRESS SELLING WEBISTE
In the present world due to rapid growth of technology people can order things or purchase home
supplies while they are still home seated. Many Companies which have adapted the online business
services have been on the verge of the market as they are now offering home delivery. For this urge and
need of products the users or consumers have found themselves downloading the mobile application
for a specific company selling online or browsing information regarding the online selling websites using
their browsers. Though there are so many companies adapting the online selling, thus this as made
many consumers to be so selective of the information provided in the application or in the website.
When consumers realize that the information they are seeking is not clear then the user will evade that
website and search for another selling site that meet his or her needs. This scenario of consumers being
selective has made many people to be eager when interacting with the already posted products by
checking if they are effective, how safe they are and if they satisfy their requirements with the duration
needed. We need to evaluate the Jumia express selling website (ExperienceUX, 2018). The first question
in this proposal is asking what is an interactive system? Interactive system can be defined in many ways
which depends on the discussion area but in this concept the topic of discussion is the usability testing
(point, 2018). The point of reference is the Information security in a applications used in smartphones or
a website that can be applied on browsers on machines or phones which may allow user to perform
functions and operations such as the E-commerce, selling games online, Electronic devices, E-book and
many others in all range of products existing in the world (meich, 2017). According to Nielsen Jacob
there are considerations and requirements that need to be analysed and designed when we are
determining how capable usability can if performed (Johnson, 2018). The following content below
explains all the considerations or principles to guide in doing an evaluation of the usability testing of
Jumia Express Selling Website (NIELSEN, 2013). Some of the questions to ask when doing
evaluation are us follows (Jakob, 1999).
Research Questions
1) What is the consistency of the information, content and the design of the Jumia Express Selling
Website?
2) Does Jumia Express Selling Website have a look and feel in its Graphical User Interface?
3) Is it easy while navigating the Jumia website webpages?
4) Does Jumia website show some clarity and visibility in the mobile application or in the website
(Nielsen, 2015)?

5) Is there in any way Jumia website interactive system matches with the real world?
6) Does Jumia website shows have support such as help and documentation assistance to the users
of Jumia?
7) Is it possible for Jumia Website to recognize, diagnose and recover errors if they occur when
dealing and interacting with the application?
8) Is the Jumia websites supportive in terms freedom and control of the user?
This report aims at giving a detailed explanation of the human interaction usability test of Jumia Express
Selling Website. Jumia Express is an online selling website that sells its good in most Africa countries and
doing very well in Kenya. Jumia has been known to deal with all types of goods where they can sell at
wholesales, retails and even specific products and doing home delivery to your home and you pay after
the good or service has been delivered to you. The concept is like that of Amazon just that in this one it
still has not yet gone international to other continents in Africa. In Jumia Express consumers of goods
can view goods on their websites, adding goods they want to shopping cart and placing an order where
they will follow up with immediately they receive an order. This report is aimed at giving a detailed
analysis where we use a questionnaire in investigation and evaluating the usability test of Jumia Express
(JannaDupree, 2014). Lastly after the evaluation is done we will have to explain all the findings
analysed from the investigations or the answers from the questionnaires and thus recommending on
what need to be done by Jumia Express depending on the result from findings (Garyperlman, 2018).
Jumia Express Use Cases
Jumia Express of late has been known to be dominating the sales of products online in Central, East and
West Africa where it has been engaging itself in selling goods at wholesale and retail prices which are
much convenient than buying from normal shops (Rouse, 2017). Jumia Express is a company that is
selling about 2 million products in a day which ranges from food, flight, travels, houses, party, men’s
fashion, women’s fashion, TVs audio and cameras, computing and beauty (Jumia, 2018). Jumia is termed
as one of the biggest online mall that has many warehouses in respective countries where it sells its
products to countries like Algeria, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Egypt, Ghana, Morocco, Nigeria, Rwanda,
Senegal, Tanzania, Tunisia and Uganda. To interact closely with the customers Jumia Express has been
for a good website that a graphical user interface has a good look and feel making it easy when one
want to search for products as it is easy when interacting with the website or the mobile application and
lastly the navigation across all the webpages is very easy in Jumia Express (Yitmen, 2013). The
products at Jumia are classified depending on the category they belong just like the way products

in supermarkets are physically arranged (niloda, 2014). This website growth and update each and
every day as it allows one view products anywhere with regard that you have some internet
(Department, 2018). In Jumia Express one can view the good may it be a phone, place it in the
shopping cart if you are willing to buy and order where they will get back to you and asks the
location you discuss on the pay on delivery (www.nngroup.com, 2014). The explanation below
is the Jumia Express use case that shows how one interact with the system on the mobile
application and the website on normal browsers after selecting the products.
Figure 1 Jumia Express Use Case
In the above diagram in Jumia Express customers interacts with the websites in so many ways where
they purchase products online and if a good is delivered to the consumer and paid immediately we term
this as a successful transaction (Lucidchart, 2017). One have to open the Jumia express and understands
what happens from the moment you view the homepage and navigates through all the other pages all
through the coursework of doing so. This use case is good start explaining all the functional and non-
functional requirements of Jumia Express stating how usability testing can be enhanced when users
interacts with the webpages. The test was based on how easy it easy to interact with the website, the
consistency of graphical user Interface of Jumia Express, the look and feel and much more the clarity
and how visible it is when interacting with the Jumia Website (UserLytics, 2017).

Evaluation Methodology
The evaluation test is based on application of cases that helps to guide consumers to participate in the
usage of Jumia Express where we will analyse all the functionalities and additional features for proposed
system when doing usability testing (ATSDR, 2016). In this proposal of usability testing a total of 5
people who have never interacted with Jumia Express there before where each and every participant is
given 15 mins when being observed by the researcher while interacting with the Jumia Express website
or Mobile Application (ufl, 2018). The major areas that were targeted by the researcher were the way
the participants created their account by signing up then they login after being verified, starts viewing
the products by selecting their choice, adding it to the shopping cart and lastly making that specific
order. This methodology has been explained by use of cases that has explained all tasks to be completed
as per the specific case (APCRC, 2017).
Case one
In this case the user pays attention to what the homepage of Jumia Express entails where one checks all
what is available and start navigates through the products offered depending classified categories and
the content they portray in terms of description and price and how convenient it is in terms of delivery
and time (www.jumia.co.ke, 2018).
Case two
In this case the user is tested on how he can navigate across the Jumia Website where he have to
interact with concepts like phone & tablets, Supermarket, Women’s Fashion, Men’s Fashion, Beauty,
Jumia Global, Food, Travel, Flight, Computing, Fashion accessories among many other categories and
webpages. In this case it is performed for the issue of navigating through the website using all the
categories in all ways.
Case Three
In case three the participants are required to select three item on phones and tablets and computing
where they view the chosen products, adds them to the shopping cart and make an order
Case Four
In this case much of emphasis is placed on how many webpages the participant have visited on the
Jumia Express. All users had visited more than 10 webpages where we concentrated on how the
webpages were visible and clear to them, how consistent the context of the webpage is to the
