Web usability testing and research presents challenges for accurate data collection. An instrumented browser solution, Uzilla, is compared with existing solutions, and its contributions to usability testing practice are noted. Uzilla implements a client-server architecture based on the open source Mozilla browser. Instrumentation of the browser facilitates the evaluation of Web sites and applications inside and outside of the laboratory. An integrated data collection and analysis server application decreases the effort required to understand test results and facilitates iterative testing.
网络可用性测试与研究在准确数据收集方面存在挑战。将一种装有仪器的浏览器解决方案Uzilla与现有解决方案进行了比较,并指出了它对可用性测试实践的贡献。Uzilla基于开源的Mozilla浏览器实现了一种客户端-服务器架构。对浏览器进行仪器化有助于在实验室内外对网站和应用程序进行评估。一个集成的数据收集与分析服务器应用程序减少了理解测试结果所需的工作量,并便于进行迭代测试。
