Testing Procedure

The finished product will be tested on one of the soft serve machines in Day's Ice Cream in Ocean Grove, New Jersey. Ideally, the ice cream will be evenly coated in sprinkles as it comes out of the spigot and passes through the attachment into the cone.

Procedure:

• the apparatus will be attached to one of the spigots on a soft serve machine
• one of the owner's of Day's will then use the attachment to fill a cone while the apparatus is engaged
• the entire process will be videotaped/photographed/observed first hand
• the finished cone will then be subjected to a "taste test" to ensure quality
• a brief survey/questionnaire will then be administered to test the entire process

1. Was the appartus easy to attach?
2. Did the apparatus complicate the task of filling a cone in any way?
3. Was the ice cream evenly coated in sprinkles as it passed through the apparatus?
4. Were the sprinkles distributed evenly throughout the cone?
5. Were there too many or too few sprinkles?
6. Did the sprinkles at any point become soggy?
7. Did you enjoy your cone?

My Personal Testing Procedure

1. Are the vibrations enough to cause the sprinkles to exit the attachment?
2. Does the battery have enough power to support the motor for an extended time?
3. Is the electrical system safe?
4. Is the electrical system contained within the device?
5. Are the batteries easy to replace in the machine?
