Mo? This is exactly right, Bill. In the same way you don't want developers QAing their own code, you don't want the folks who developed the code running the usability tests either. When you're knee deep in it for so long, it's really easy to miss things and have biases that will negatively impact the effectiveness of the testing. This brings up another point. We do have a bit of an issue in that I lead the design/mockup work for the UI and I'm going to be working on the planning for the tests we're going to be running in Westford (and potentially remotely on-site at our intern's campus) concurrently. For actually administering the tests here, I can talk to Ryan Lerch and see if he can do it so I'm not the one talking to the test participants and instead am the person watching from the other side of the screen chewing on my fist. ;-) ~m _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
