CEED UX testing

The unified editor is slowly but surely getting useful. I think it's time we do user experience testing and see which features are hard to access and which workflows users will use (so that we can optimise for them).

Testing will be done on 2 of the "mostly finished" editors within CEED - imageset and layout editors.

The process

All participants will use their favourite screen casting software and record how they use CEED and how they perform tasks that each of the tests give them. I ask them not to prepare anything in advance because the aim is to make intuitive tools with very flat learning curve. Ideally they would record it first try and submit the results. Commentary or annotation would be helpful but are not required.

Tests

Imageset editing

• create a new imageset using [CHOOSE AN IMAGE]
• outline all of the elements in the image, name them Image1, Image2, Image3 and Image4
• choose two of the images and centre their offset (so that it is perfectly in the centre of the image)
• create one additional outline that takes the whole image, name it "All"
• ...

Layout editing

• create a form that will allow you to order a pizza for Crazy Eddie (with options)
• create another layout that will allow you to order a cabbage-like vegetable for Crazy Eddie (hint hint: maybe you can reuse parts of the previous form?)
