Pilot session

• Nov, 5, 15:00, Dave Cockerill
• Background information: http://kati.home.cern.ch/kati/usability_bg.html
• Questions:
  • "You are planning to start analysis, where would you go to look for information?"
  • "You will have electrons in your analysis, and you would need to know what the electron data contains. Find the information."
  • "Can you find a useful example code to access electron data collection?"
  • "You would like to know if others have done a similar analysis in the physics working groups, where would you go to look for information?"
  • "In your analysis, you would like to match the generated electron to the reconstructed electron. Find the information."
• Recording with camstudio

Information for testers

Try to think aloud while working. This will give useful information about the use of the documentation. Really say what you think, for example, when deciding between the different links to follow on a web page.

The purpose of the test is not to evaluate your skills but to study the usability of the documentation.

The session will be recorded. All material will be treated confidentially and used only to analyze the results. When reporting the results, the participant will be described only anonymously.
