:-) Yes it was, and hidden in nice presentation. I'll extract points from presentation to normal wiki text. The part I already did helped me to see that BugBusters would be just a part of total testing. Also, creating testing infrastructure is the way to attract contributors that have no time nor skills, to develop their own. Having plan (and infrastructure) that counts on occasional testers, like Google image labeling counts on occasional contributors. I have, still just gut feeling, that what you can see and try on http://images.google.com/imagelabeler/ is possible with almost anything. Make lists of tests, very small ones, and offer it randomly, within topic/application. It is not necessary to create duel game style tests, it will help a lot to describe one particular task and give expected result, and ask what happened. Examples: - like drag and drop something and ask for description, then evaluate result. (it will give idea how good is drag'n'drop) - open application and find version, and evaluate time to find it (this will tell how obvious is that placed) - tell user to do set something up and ask him did he succeeded. You get the idea. Instead of asking expertize and hours of user time, you get detailed tests results with user having to spend 5-10 minutes per test. -- Regards, Rajko http://news.opensuse.org/category/people-of-opensuse/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-testing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-testing+help@opensuse.org
