MeeGo QA-tools User Experience
This is the main page for user experience (UX) work done for MeeGo QA-tools. The purpose of the UX activities is to improve the QA-tools so that they are easier, more efficient and more pleasant to use. For this, end-user feedback is crucial.
This page is meant for a proposal of UX task list and other UX-related content, such as UX evaluation reports and UI drafts for discussion among the community. Even if some traditional user-centered design methods (user studies, usability tests etc.) require offline working, the results of those should be published here or be directly filed as enhancements/bugs to Bugzilla.
