  • Publication number: 20050283736
    Abstract: The present invention provides a GUI, method, system and program product for generating usability data for a remote computer user. The GUI consumes minimal screen real estate and remains on top of all other applications. The GUI generally includes a timer for timing a task of the remote computer user; a task title field for displaying a title corresponding to the task; a comment entry field for inputting comments corresponding to a performance of the task by the remote computer user; and a way to indicate a type of each of the comments input. As the remote computer user performs a task, a tester will input comments using the GUI, and then assign each comment a type. A numerical count is maintained for certain types of comments. Usability data is generated based on the comments, the types and the numerical counts.
