Re: [KDE Usability] Mini Usability Testing Ideas?
2009/10/19 Celeste Lyn Paul cele...@kde.org: Hi Everyone, I would like to plan another community-based usability test similar to the one I did for Amarok last spring [1]. This time, I am trying to involve my university's LUG and will have access to a usability lab. Depending on how well I can organize this new group, we would like to try a test later this year (end of November/beg Dec) or early next year (~ Feb). I am looking for ideas of small tasks or processes we could test, such as the playlist editing task we did for Amarok. Any ideas are welcome! You might want to revisit the idea of promoting Panel Options to top-level status: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=205402 In my opinion Aaron closed the bug without fully understanding the issue.

It could be part of a Customize Your Desktop activity. Although we wouldnt be able to get any feedback done in time for 4.4, we should be able to test before the February Tokamak.

Some of the configuration modules could benefit from this, such as the Hardware, Action Editor ( 4.4 version is quite different to 4.3 version ), Audio CD or CDDB retrieval modules for instance. I don't know if anything System Settings itself could be done in 20 minutes though, but it could also be a candidate for testing ( either the layout, or general concept of how everything is laid out ). ~ Celeste [1] http://www.obso1337.org/2009/amarok-playlist-usability-testing/ -- Celeste Lyn Paul KDE Usability Project KDE e.V.
