<div>The following is a script for doing usability testing on Kiwix - specifically browsing and searching. It is designed for use with a pre-installed copy Wikipedia 0.8 (which should already be indexed).<br />
<br />
==Introduction and setup==<br />
* Thanks for agreeing to help us test.<br />
* Get the participant to sign the consent form.<br />
* Explain what Kiwix is.<br />
* We're collecting feedback on Kiwix and testing its usability. Basically I'll ask you to perform a task and then watch you use the software.<br />
* This will take about 15 minutes.<br />
<br />
==Explanation of roles==<br />
* Your job is really easy, you just have to be yourself and act as you naturally would. As you interact with the program, please be honest with your positive and negative thoughts. There’s no right or wrong answers, and nothing you say will hurt my feelings.<br />
* You are not being tested, the software is being tested.<br />
<br />
==Background questions==<br />
* Tell us a little about yourself, like where you're from and what kind of work you do.<br />
* Have you ever used an offline Wikipedia reader before?<br />
<br />
==Think aloud==<br />
* Next I’d like to have you open up Kiwix to do a couple of tasks.<br />
* There’s one thing that I would like you to do differently. Please think aloud as you use the program today. Feel free to say anything that comes to your mind - for example "That’s interesting" or "What were they thinking?" Talk out loud while you’re doing each task, so I can understand what you are thinking and doing - for example "Now I’m going to try to use the search bar".<br />
* We're going to be focusing on using Kiwix for basic browsing and searching.<br />
* Do you have any questions before we continue? Okay, let’s open the program.<br />
* Launch Kiwix.<br />
<br />
==Tasks==<br />
===Find an article===<br />
* Pull up the article for Berlin, Germany<br />
<br />
===Find specific information===<br />
* Find out who the current King of Thailand is.<br />
<br />
===Bookmarking===<br />
* Bookmark the article on Bhumibol Adulyadej (King of Thailand).<br />
* Close the bookmarking interface (if you haven't already).<br />
* Go back to the Main Page.<br />
* Go back to the Bhumibol Adulyadej article using the bookmark you created.<br />
* What do you think about the bookmarking interface?<br />
<br />
===In-page searching===<br />
* Within this article search for information on the "Finland Plot".<br />
* What do you think about the in-page search interface?<br />
<br />
===Full-screen mode===<br />
* Switch the interface to full-screen mode.<br />
* Switch the interface back to regular-screen mode.<br />
<br />
===Tabs===<br />
* Bring up three articles in separate tabs.<br />
* What do you think of the tab interface?<br />
<br />
==Final questions==<br />
* Is there anything that you would want to see changed/done differently in Kiwix? Particularly related to the tasks you completed today? If so explain.<br />
* Any other likes or dislikes that you’d like to mention?<br />
* Anything else you’d like to share with me or ask me?<br />
* Would it be okay for us to contact you if we have any follow up questions or information?</div>Kaldarihttps://wiki.kiwix.org/w/index.php?title=Usability_Testing_Script&diff=3687Usability Testing Script2011-05-05T00:00:21Z<p>Kaldari: </p>

For example, if you are reading something, read it out loud and feel free to say anything that comes to your mind as you read - for example "That’s interesting" or "What in the world are they talking about?" Also, talk out loud while you’re doing a task, so I can understand what you are thinking and doing. (e.g.: "Now I’m going to try to use the search bar").<br />
* Were going to be focusing on using Kiwix for basic browsing and searching.<br />

* There’s one thing that I would like you to do differently. Please think aloud as you use the program today. For example, if you are reading something read it out loud and feel free to say anything that comes to your mind as you read - for example that’s interesting or what in the world are they talking about? Also, talk out loud while you’re doing a task, so I can understand what you are thinking and doing. (e.g.: Now I’m going to try to use the search bar).<br />
* Were going to be focusing on using Kiwix for basic browsing and searching.<br />
* Do you have any questions before we continue? Okay, let’s open the program.<br />
* Launch Kiwix.</div>Kaldarihttps://wiki.kiwix.org/w/index.php?title=Usability_Testing_Script&diff=3670Usability Testing Script2011-05-04T22:08:19Z<p>Kaldari: more text</p>

<div>The following is a script for doing usability testing on Kiwix.<br />
<br />
==Introduction and setup==<br />
* Thanks for agreeing to help us test.<br />
* Explain what Kiwix is.<br />
* We're collecting feedback on Kiwix and testing usability. Basically I'll ask you some questions and then watch you use the software.<br />
* This will take about 15 min - 1/2 hr.<br />
<br />
==Explanation of moderator and participant roles==<br />
* Your job is really easy, you just have to be yourself and act as you naturally would. As you interact with the program, please be honest with your positive and negative thoughts. There’s no right or wrong answers, and nothing you say will hurt my feelings.<br />
* You are not being tested, the software is being tested.<br />

<br />
=== Search in text improvement ===<br />
<br />
There is also a small bug: If the search term is not found, it returns an error saying "[JavaScript Application] The text you entered was not found." The "[JavaScript Application]" part should probably be removed or replaced. Ryan<br />
<br />
=== Bad MacOSX Quit menu item ===<br />
<br />
=== Dead "adding content" link in the help ===<br />
<br />
=== Revamp the help page ===<br />
<br />
=== Download manager ===<br />
<br />
=== Google-styled search result page ===<br />
<br />
As previously discussed, Google-style search results would be a nice alternative to the current Sidebar implementation, especially if it could include a brief snippet from each article. Perhaps you could configure what type of search you prefer from a preferences menu. Ryan<br />
<br />
=== Localization improvement ===<br />
<br />
We will migration to translatewiki.net. We know how to make the migration, I still need to work on the migraation scripts, new templates and import scripts. [[User:Kelson|Kelson]] 13:02, 26 February 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
=== ESC to quit Fullscreen ===<br />
<br />
=== User unfriendly index dialogbox ===<br />
<br />
=== Search misses some articles ===<br />
<br />
=== Unnecessary doubleclick by suggestions ===<br />
<br />
=== Desktop File browser integration ===<br />
<br />
Gnome done, OSX, KDE and Windows still to do. [[User:Kelson|Kelson]] 14:12, 26 February 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
=== Large search button should launch search in page ===<br />
It is not clear what the function of the large search button in the toolbar is. Usually that icon is associated with launching a "Search in page" feature. If someone assumes that that is its function, they will be confused when they click on it and nothing happens. Ideally the search box itself should have a small magnifying glass ''within'' the search box, like Firefox, Explorer, and Wikipedia, and the large search icon should launch the search in page dialog.<br />
<br />
=== Bad "transliteration" menuitem on OSX ===<br />
<br />
=== Unusual keyboard shortcuts on OSX === <br />
<br />
=== History navigator ===<br />
<br />
=== Back button wrong behaviour ===<br />
<br />
=== Preferences dialog box ===<br />
<br />
Some settings ideas<br />
<br />
* Font selection and size<br />
: IMO this is the job of the ZIM publisher to provide such feature: he is responsible that the content is well displayed. This should/could be done using javascript/css/webfont/cookies pretty easily. I guess around 10 hours of work to introduce that option in my ZIM build process. The result would be a font selector on every page (for example on the top left corner) [[User:Kelson|Kelson]] 12:16, 6 April 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
* Dont track history<br />
* Online/Offline mode if external links are present. Would make links disappear if your in offline mode<br />
* Default location for zim files<br />
<br />
=== Kiosk mode ===<br />
<br />
=== DNS prefetching ===<br />

=== Large search button should launch search in page ===<br />
It is not clear what the function of the large search button in the toolbar is. Usually that icon is associated with launching a "Search in page" feature. If someone assumes that that is its function, they will be confused when they click on it and nothing happens. Ideally the search box itself should have a small magnifying glass ''within'' the search box, like Firefox, Explorer, and Wikipedia, and the large search icon should launch the search in page dialog.<br />

Some settings ideas<br />
<br />
* Font selection and size<br />
: IMO this is the job of the ZIM publisher to provide such feature: he is responsible that the content is well displayed. This should/could be done using javascript/css/webfont/cookies pretty easily. I guess around 10 hours of work to introduce that option in my ZIM build process. The result would be a font selector on every page (for example on the top left corner) [[User:Kelson|Kelson]] 12:16, 6 April 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
* Dont track history<br />
* Online/Offline mode if external links are present. Would make links disappear if your in offline mode<br />
* Default location for zim files<br />

=== Large search button should launch search in page ===<br />
It is not clear what the function of the large search button in the toolbar is. Usually that icon is associated with launching a "Search in page" feature. If someone assumes that that is its function, they will be confused when they click on it and nothing happens. Ideally the search box itself should have a small magnifying glass ''within'' the search box, like Firefox, Explorer, and Wikipedia, and the large search icon should launch the search in page dialog.<br />

Some settings ideas<br />
<br />
* Font selection and size<br />
: IMO this is the job of the ZIM publisher to provide such feature: he is responsible that the content is well displayed. This should/could be done using javascript/css/webfont/cookies pretty easily. I guess around 10 hours of work to introduce that option in my ZIM build process. The result would be a font selector on every page (for example on the top left corner) [[User:Kelson|Kelson]] 12:16, 6 April 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
* Dont track history<br />
* Online/Offline mode if external links are present. Would make links disappear if your in offline mode<br />
* Default location for zim files<br />

<br />
=== pre-beta1 testing by Nikhil Sheth on Windows 7 OS ===<br />
<br />
Conditions: Windows 7, Was using Kiwix + Wikipedia For Schools portable till now, have previously opened and indexed wikipedia en,hi,gu,mr in this and moved the profile folder to another drive. (see http://nikhilsheth.blogspot.com/2011/02/changing-profileindex-location-for.html for details). Downloaded and unzipped http://tmp.kiwix.org/tmp/kiwix-0.9-pre-beta1-win.zip and ran /kiwix/kiwix.exe (autorunner working good, but I haven't checked the installer.)<br />
<br />
Searching: on typing a word and pressing Enter, instead of sidebar we now have a web-search-like results page. <br />
<br />
1. Under each link I only get "0 KB (0 words)" instead of any useful data, maybe because this is still using the old index created by the last version, but I advise someone check it out.<br />
<br />
2. There are 20 search results per page. I feel this may hinder seeing result 21 onwards. What basis is used to order the search results - is it first-hit-first-serve or is there a ranking method? I know it can't be as efficient as a google ranking, so wondering if we might be hindering searching through the articles by limiting results.<br />
<br />
3. For some reason I miss the search sidebar. I would previously find an exact article and go to it, but also have a list at the side where I could see suggestions for something related. Eg: Physics. I could then browse from one to another with a click. Now I'm directly taken to an article if I click on the auto-suggest option, and directly taken to search if I press enter or press the search button. I have to go back to search if I want to go to another article instead of just clicking on the side. So I feel like we've gone from more options to less options.<br />
<br />
4. In English version, the tooltip for the Search in Page button is still only "Search" and it can be misleading, users might press this button at the near left of the search bar instead of the one at the far right which they should if they're searching for an article.<br />
<br />
5. Top menu > Tools > integrity check : clicking on it froze my Kiwix and I had to terminate it!<br />
<br />
: The problem is that the check process needs a lot of time... So if you wait you will get the result and be able to use Kiwix afterward like always. [[User:Kelson|Kelson]] 12:20, 1 April 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
6. Major bug : Search results are 20 per page and there are links to 10 pages. We cannot go beyond the 200th search result even when it states there are over 200 results! Plus, when it crosses 1000 results, a decimal point instead of the (in English) regular comma is used, as if the total is a decimal fraction. <br />
example: Top line on page 10 of search:galaxy : <br />
"Results 180-200 of 1.103 for galaxy"<br />
<br />
7. We have to calculate from the top line to guess which search page we're on. Eg: Results 120-140 .. means I'm on page7. There is no information of page number, no next page / previous page link so if I came back here after seeing an article, it's a bit harder to guess which was the last or the next page I want to go to.<br />
<br />
8. Zoom In shortcut key Ctrl+ '+' doesn't work here. Zoom Out Ctrl+ '-' and original zoom Ctrl+ 0 works.<br />
<br />
9. If we're searching using capital letters, then the auto-suggest doesn't function. Also if a character in the target article has an uppercase char somewhere after the first, then putting it in lowercase also removes the auto-suggest. But then the main search is completely case insensitive.<br />
Eg: typing "taj mahal" shows Taj Mahal in the auto-suggest right till the space, but as soon as I type m it disappears.<br />
<br />
10. On entering two words and searching, it returns results that will have one or both the words. Searching for 'angelina humanist' - either without or with the single quotes - returns results that have one word or the other or both. But use double quotes and you get AND results - only pages that have both the words. This is good so far. But what do you do if you want to search for a phrase with exact order of words?<br />
Eg: A search for a line from the Ulysses poem "Of all the western stars, until I die" (using double quotes) Does not return the Ulysses (poem) article in the first page.<br />
<br />
11. It may be nice if the text typed in the search bar stayed there instead of being wiped out, if in case we want to go back up and tweak it. Like, in Firefox, what I've typed in search bar stays there.<br />
<br />
12. This is just an extreme test : for zero results, with sample search string 'rtgrtrt', should there be a message saying "no results found for rtgrtrt" , or should it just give a popup (no, too jarring!) or something and not browse away from the article we are currently reading? Right now it shows a blank search results page with the line "Results 0-20 of 0 for rtgrtrt".<br />
<br />
13. Pressing Escape key when typing in search bar is currently the same as pressing Enter. Previously with Search bar being used this was harmless, but now it takes us away from our current page. We might want to cancel our search instead of going ahead with it.<br />
<br />
14. Quite a large amount of screen real estate being wasted in search results. Could we render it in a table of 2 columns instead? Then maybe more search results per page can be accommodated.<br />
<br />
: Ryan, is that a good idea? Should I simply show the 20 results in 2 columns? What think the other testers? [[User:Kelson|Kelson]] 12:22, 1 April 2011 (UTC)<br />
::I don't really think this is a big issue. Typically the user will find what they are looking for within the first 10 search results. I'm reluctant to do a multi-column layout since this may be confusing to some people. In my opinion, we should stick as closely as possible to the Google style of results since this is the most commonly used search interface that most people will be familiar with. [[User:Kaldari|Kaldari]] 21:35, 1 April 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Not all of these are serious bugs and some are just quirks, but I thought I better be exhaustive in reporting. But I feel no.6 needs urgent attention.

=== Large search button should launch search in page ===<br />
It is not clear what the function of the large search button in the toolbar is. Usually that icon is associated with launching a "Search in page" feature. If someone assumes that that is its function, they will be confused when they click on it and nothing happens. Ideally the search box itself should have a small magnifying glass ''within'' the search box, like Firefox, Explorer, and Wikipedia, and the large search icon should launch the search in page dialog.<br />

=== Large search button should launch search in page ===<br />
It is not clear what the function of the large search button in the toolbar is. Usually that icon is associated with launching a "Search in page" feature. If someone assumes that that is its function, they will be confused when they click on it and nothing happens. Ideally the search box itself should have a small magnifying glass ''within'' the search box, like Firefox and Wikipedia, and the large search icon should launch the search in page dialog.<br />

=== Large search button should launch search in page ===<br />
It is not clear what the function of the large search button in the toolbar is. Usually that icon is associated with launching a "Search in page" feature. If someone assumes that that is its function, they will be confused when they click on it and nothing happens. Ideally the search box itself should have a small magnifying glass ''within'' the search box, like Firefox and Wikipedia, and the large search icon should launch the search in page dialog.<br />

=== Large search button should launch search in page ===<br />
It is not clear what the function of the large search button in the toolbar is. Usually that icon is associated with launching a "Search in page" feature. If someone assumes that that is its function, they will be confused when they click on it and nothing happens. Ideally the search box itself should have a small magnifying glass ''within'' the search box, like Firefox and Wikipedia, and the large search icon should launch the search in page dialog.<br />

| #16 || '''[[#DNS prefetching]]''' || although this isn't a user interface issue, it seems that Kiwix makes DNS requests on all the external links included in each Wikipedia article it loads (without clicking on them). So if I pull up World War II, for example, Kiwix might make a couple hundred DNS requests. This isn't bad for someone living in the US, but if you are in a remote area and don't have unlimited data for free, it could be an unexpected surprise, since Kiwix is supposed to be an "offline" reader. Just thought I would pass it along. || closed || 100% || || || <br />

=== Search in text improvement ===<br />
<br />
There is also a small bug: If the search term is not found, it returns an error saying "[JavaScript Application] The text you entered was not found." The "[JavaScript Application]" part should probably be removed or replaced. Ryan<br />

=== Bad MacOSX Quit menu item ===<br />
<br />
=== Dead "adding content" link in the help ===<br />
<br />
=== Revamp the help page ===<br />
<br />
=== Download manager ===<br />
<br />
=== Google-styled search result page ===<br />
<br />
As previously discussed, Google-style search results would be a nice alternative to the current Sidebar implementation, especially if it could include a brief snippet from each article. Perhaps you could configure what type of search you prefer from a preferences menu. Ryan<br />
<br />
=== Localization improvement ===<br />
<br />
We will migration to translatewiki.net. We know how to make the migration, I still need to work on the migraation scripts, new templates and import scripts. [[User:Kelson|Kelson]] 13:02, 26 February 2011 (UTC)<br />

=== Large search button should launch search in page ===<br />
It is not clear what the function of the large search button in the toolbar is. Usually that icon is associated with launching a "Search in page" feature. If someone assumes that that is its function, they will be confused when they click on it and nothing happens. Ideally the search box itself should have a small magnifying glass ''within'' the search box, like Firefox and Wikipedia, and the large search icon should launch the search in page dialog.<br />
