GUI-Tester
GUI-Tester is a method for testing the behavior of users of Windows applications. It is part of the Ergolight methodology for usability engineering and resilience assurance. The method was disclosed in the CHI 1998 conference.[1]
History[edit]
The original name of GUI-Tester was Ergolight, as in 1997 this was the only method developed by the company. In 1999, after the announcement of LabTester and WebTester, the method was renamed to GUI-Tester.
Method[edit]
The method comprises the following features:
- Tracking the user's activity
- Detecting, using special indicators, instances of users putative experience of difficulty
- Prompting the users to express their experience and their intentions
- Recording the user's intention, employed by selection from a task breakdown
- Reviewing the correspondence between the records of the user's activity and those of the user's intentions.
The user's activities were synchronized with the user's intentions by time stamps.
Status[edit]
Today it is used by ErgoSafe, in the form of guidelines for deployment and ongoing resilience assurance.
