Updates (Allan Eustis):
Sharon Laskowski started the meeting by going through her slides being presented at the plenary meeting. Basically the presentation is going to be a progress report, discussing changes or issues in the HFP sections, issues requiring further analysis, usability benchmark development, and next research steps. Basically there are three significant changes since the December meeting:
Issues that require further analysis:
Benchmarks:
Sharon is still working on these slides. The general goal is to have a
quantitative benchmark requirement and to achieve that we had to develop
a test protocol method, determine how to count errors, and define what
errors looked like. Sharon will go over that methodology and report back
the data that was found. She will include a slide of the characteristics
a good test instrument must have. Results being reported are supported
by others doing testing that have found the same results. Next research
steps will be the last slide:
