In this post I'd like to present you my latest website: Ermanno Falco - Fotografo di Torino (in Italian).
Usability testing Drupal's comment form: findings and how to fix it's problems
I'm working on a Drupal 6 based website. One of the goals of this website is to be very usable. That's why a couple of weeks ago we run a detailed usability test on the website.
We had 5 users using the website by proposing them 3 different scenarios and some tasks on those scenarios. I plan to write a more detailed post on how we tested that website in next days, so keep an eye on my website if you are interested.
The website we tested is a photographer portfolio which contains also a blog. So, one of the tasks proposed to our users was adding a comment on a blog node. This could seems like a super easy task but our users were pretty confused by standard Drupal labels and messages of Drupal's comment form.
Tomorrow at UPA Europe 2008 in Torino
The next 3 days I will attend the UPA Europe 2008 which will be held in Torino, my city.
In the last year I've got more and more interested in usability in general. It's really a fascinating research area and I judge it essential in the success of a IT project.
I've been pretty lucky that the conference is held in my city, just at about 30 minutes from my home. Moreover, as a student and a UPA-I member, I got a very cheap price. Cool, isn't?
