Re: [Usability] Cheap Open Source Morae Alternative

[Leisa Reichelt <leisa reichelt gmail com>]

hi guys

new to this list, so hope you don't mind me adding my 2c here - just wanted to check that you've taken a look at silverbackapp.com as a reference interface for this project. It doesn't have an observer mode, just runs usability test capture (screen capture + headshot) from a Mac, but has a fairly nice, simple admin UI - worth a look and I think you can get a 30 day trial for free. If not, sing out and I'm happy to do a screencast of my installation.

hope that helps and good luck with this project - it's definitely needed! 

Leisa

Maybe, on the welcome screen, we can just use something like what I proposed earlier ( http://i.imagehost.org/0753/welcome.png ) then when the user selects the project he wants, he'll see all the sessions there.

That would create less visual noise, because you wont see every session from different projects on the welcome screen. After all, if you have a session in mind, you know what project contains it. :)

By the way, there's a GNOME 3 usability hackfest on feb 22-26. Ivanka is going to be there too. I think, this project deserves some attention there. After all, they're talking about Pongo there ;)

OK. I was thinking that we could always show individual sessions and just group them under project headings.

Something like:
Recent Sessions:
  * Project 1
    - Session 1
    - Session 2
    - View All

  * Project 2
    - Session 1
    - Session 2
    - View All

  * View All Projects

Good question.. I was thinking that it's going to be one project. A project is a group of related sessions. I just don't know if that's technically feasible. If it's not it's just going to be one session.

Yes.

I don't know much about usability testing, so is each entry in "Recent Projects" a group of related sessions or just one session (e.g. one user)?

Whoops, I hit the send button too soon. :)

What about an overview window with buttons like:
[View a past session] [Record a new session]

Clicking on [Record a new session] would open up a window with some default settings. The user would then click on a [Create Session] button afterwhich the window would be the same as if it was opened with [Record a new Session]

Gtk Builder/Glade

Also I agree that a wizard would not work. I just didn't want a
prepare/setup tab that would become useless once the recording has
started.
