Project summary
The WWW is now ubiquitous, and yet its usability is of major concern. Usability testing methods are able to identify flaws prior to launch, however their application typically requires direct observation.
WWW site development is multidisciplinary (combining technical, creative and design oriented disciplines) and often physically distributed (across the globe in extreme cases). Great potential exists for approaches to usability testing that are accessible from remote locations around the globe.
Sandrine Balbo , from The University of Melbourne, and Cecile Paris, from CSIRO, continue their ongoing collaborations. Under CRSS (2003) funding multidisciplinary WWW development teams were studied and clear requirements for remote testing tools identified. In this ongoing project, we propose to develop and test those tools.
