Since I had a couple people asking what I am working on with UTS, I will give a small break down here and hope it is similar to boombatowers list of items he will be working on in the future, if you want to address a specific part or help out just give me a ping or comment in this issue.

  1. Analyze UI
    1. Study UI
    2. Study Task UI

I just posted the by design issues, I will also work on the following items which will probably take longer to be finished.

  1. Informal usability tests on UTS
  2. Rewriting interface text
  3. New usability test types
    1. 5 Second testing
    2. A/B and multivariate testing
    3. Card sorting
    4. Interview based-tasks
  4. UTS welcome screen
  5. Environments for core testing
  6. Blog posts on UTS
    1. RITE method
    2. Core usability testing
  7. Analyzes xml/doc/html output
  8. Particpant Selection
  9. Collaborative test planning

So the biggest issue is and will be to setup a usability test with more then one person, as not involving stakeholders (people in the issue que) is a big mistake, you want to be able to show how you setup a usability test and get them involved in the whole process of testing. Especially if we found a usability problem and we are trying to validate if a solution is successful. We might end up with a previous mentioned usability.drupal.org where all usability tests are gathered, but we are still a long way from that.

Probably just as me, most usability folks are very sceptical of usability tests remotely online without moderation. So there is still a great deal to learn and we have to get usability folks involved to polish our testing process - in the next few months I will talk with some who are also involved in Drupal.
