Our main goal was to highlight the possible usability issues v6.1 might have through the different scenarios put in place. Secondly, accelerate the process of reviewing the code and correct the found bugs.
The feedback from these two days uncovered a few generic usability issues and some more specific ones (related to particular modules or web client). The most specific issues will be fixed in due time for the release.
Some of the generic usability issues that were found:
- the fact that the form or the editable list are not saved and gives an error message
- the organisation and behavior of buttons in form
A few bugs were also uncovered during the workshop, and some of the technically-inclined participants even got their hands dirty starting to fix them on the spot with the help of our R&D engineers. We are thankful for that!
We believe that the event was a real success and a great opportunity to discover v6.1 in a different way, with first hand experience. It's also a good way to highlight usability issues with the help of our partners and end users.
We plan to repeat this experience for future versions, so next time be the first to subscribe and work together with our R&D team on our premises.
