We need help doing user experience testing! This means users testing our software, observing what does and doesn't work for them, and recording that.

We have an instance set up being run by Caleb Davis to test this: http://omgmg.dyndns.org:6543/

Note that NOTHING ON THIS INSTANCE IS PERMANENT. This is for user experience testing only... it will be wiped!

Running a user experience test

Could someone with experience with this fill in info here? ;)


I (Jan-Christoph Borchardt) write a thesis at the moment on Coordinating low-cost usability testing in independent free & open source software projects
There are many small tips and recipes on how to do your own testing. Especially look into the Methods part.
Please let me know if you have any other experiences with testing, I intend on regularly updating that document and release the full version freely licensed once it’s done as well as some kind of a quick start guide.
