As we are finishing off the second week of the quarter, we are pretty much ready for the next week's Usability Test. The glitch that Lindsey mentioned in last weeks posting about the problem encountered when plugging the external keyboard, we were able to fix it, thanks to Alex's untiring effort! So now if the external keyboard is plugged in then the keyboards do not show up whenever the focus is in textboxes.
Also this week Alex and Lindsey have been very busy preparing the design of the posters for the conferences they are attending next month and are ready with the final design. Once this design gets approved by Prof. Ludi, they would start filling out the contents. Hopefully they would be able to get that done next week; so you can watch out for the preview in next week's post!
We were also quite busy this week preparing the schedules for the Usability Test. We are planning to carry it out over the next two weeks. We are really excited about the testing and hope to find interesting data. We'll let you know about these as well in next entry.
Another issue we fixed this week is again polishing the application; and this one is regarding the maintaining of log of the events generated through user's interaction with the system. For instance, we are logging what icons the user has pressed, its exact location (clicked coordinate), along with the timestamp. Another information that we are logging is whether the user has zoomed in or out. We were able to trap these info earlier but were struggling to have them write to a file. But finally this week we were able to get this one through as well!
So it all looks quite good and smooth as we are gearing up for the test next week!
