Re: [Banshee-List] Should I make the usability test?

[Jonas Urth Olsen <jonas urthnet dk>]

Hi again

Finally, I can show you the result of the usability test I conducted. 
Unfortunately I only manages to test Banshee on two users. I would have 
liked to test on more users, but it took more time than I expected, so I 
decided to cut down.
I tested the Ubuntu One Music Store, as Amazon MP3 store is not 
available where I live (Denmark). The result from that test is not in 
this report, as I think it is more relevant to Canonical, besides that I 
still miss analysing that part of the test.
I plan to turn the results into bug report the next days, but need to 
spend a bit time making sure that the problems have not been reported 
already.
I found some more problems, that I have not documented yet, I need to 
look a bit more on those.

Anyway here it is:

(There might be a better place for such a document, so pleas let me know 
if I should upload it somewhere, Bugzill maybe?)

Enjoy :-)
