[OSM-talk] [Talk-us] OSM User Testing

[Peter Batty]

I think it's great that something is being done on this.

Personally I would suggest finding a few volunteers to be tested and sit in
a room with them. You don't need a lot of people to find the key issues and
I think you get more from seeing them do it in person and having them "think
out loud" rather than using remote screen recording software.

I've posted this before but I highly recommend this book on usability
testing, "Don't make me think", it's a very quick read:

Just my few cents!
