Usability Scenario #4
- [UX] Wiki - Space - Page concepts pitch http://markmail.org/thread/7y62ewmo2ltdeomq (Jul 31, 2014)
Description
Scenario
Part 1 - Introduction
We're testing the project that we're working on so we can see what it's like for actual people to use it.
Just to make things clear we are testing the project, not you. You can't do anything wrong here.
We want to hear exactly what you think, so please don't worry that you're going to hurt our feelings. We want to improve it, so we need to know honestly what you think.
As we go along, I'm going to ask you to think out loud, to tell me what's going through your mind. This will help us.
With your permission, we're going to record the computer screen and what you have to say. The recording will be used only to help us figure out how to improve the project, and it will be seen by community members working on the project.
XWiki is an open source project so this means we are doing everything in the open and we value each contribution. With your permission we would like to mention your name on our Hall of Fame.
Part 2 - Participant
First, we want to know more things about you. We collect this data in order to make statistics about the usage of the product and the target.
Can you please tell me about:

Part 3 - Tasks and Questions
Now we will ask you to do some tasks. In this session we have X tasks. You have 45 minutes time to complete them.
We don't need to finish all the tasks. There are multiple tasks in order to make sure our time will be filled.
We can end the session at any time. Also, if there is a task that you don't want to finish, we can always go to the next.
