The
Usability Testing Suite is
in Beta! Google Summer of Code student
Jimmy "boombatower" Berry has been coding hard and fast all this great usability testing tool.
The Usability Testing Suite is intended to be used for remote 'guerilla' usability testing. Currently it allows a usability test designer/engineer to create a study with a bunch of tasks, and invite participants to attempt the task, whilst remotely capturing data about the pages / urls the participant visited, the forms they submitted, what data was entered, and allows the participant to log typed live feedback as they go. More data capturers are planned (outside the scope of
SoC) that will make this tool a really valuable asset to the
Drupal Usability community.
In the meantime however, the
UTS is just about ready for real-world use and testing with basic usability studies.

Feedback and input at this stage of development is extremely valuable.
