Fink2 alpha user test

[NiklasBuchfink]

Context

The purpose of the user testing is to validate that non-technical users can use lix features in the context of Fink2.

Research Questions

1. Changes:
   1. They discover changes for the first time, does it make them think, they need to save?
   2. What are their thought about the changes view? Do they think it is useful or rather useless because they know what they did and it is visible in the editing view?
2. Commit:
   1. Do users understand "commits" based on the wording?
   2. What do they think, what it is doing?
   3. Do they like, that it forces them to describe their changes or would they prefer something different?
3. History:
   1. What do they think they can do with it?
4. Merge:
   1. When I send over a second file, do they discover the merge feature?
   2. Are they able to understand what is going on when something is merged?
5. Conflict:
   1. Do they know why a conflict was raised?
   2. Do they understand how to resolve it?
   3. Are they trying to resolve it right away or would they postpone it?
6. Do they understand what Lix does?
   1. What is the mental model of the users on how the app works?
   2. Can they imagine the workflow of how they collaborate with others?

Interview

Intro

We have an app for managing translations called Fink. We have rebuild our app with new concepts and feature. Now we want you to test this app. We will give you some tasks and want you to speak aloud about your thoughts. For example, what you are trying to do and what you think is happening.

Do you have any questions?

@niklas.buchfink @nils.jacobsen i assume that the research is concluded?

• no implicit merging
• change proposals are required
• branches required

[NiklasBuchfink]

We can come back to user testing when we have implemented with the new workflow (branches + change proposal). After that, it still makes sense to test the Fink2 interface.

@niklas.buchfink okay. can we move this issue to Fink v2 alpha -> Standalone?
