Findings |
|
Three results of
this comparative test particularly surprised us:
·
the limited overlap between usability problems in the software reported by the
different teams;
·
the large number of usability problems detected in the software; and
·
the
reproducibility of the results produced by SUMI, the Software Usability
Measurement Inventory questionnaire that two of the teams used.
The limited
overlap may be a result of the large number of usability problems in Task
Timer for Windows. It could also be due to the different approaches to
usability testing that the participating teams took - in particular, the
selection of different usability test scenarios.
