Test plan first playable

Upon presenting a first playable multiple features need to be tested. This document is to provide a rigorous and quantifiable approach towards this testing, so that as much user feedback can be gained as possible. It is desired to involve 4 other students, who had no previous involvement in the game, to test the features. For each around 15 minutes should be needed, including play and detailed questions. 10 minutes is to be spent for play and initial impressions and another 5 for follow-up questions.
