Contributor Allards on the Usability category

Run thorough User Test  
Written by Allards the 20 May 12 at 17:50. Related project: Unity. Already implemented
I'm a Mac OS and was a Windows user. I'm trying Ubuntu 12.04 on my iMac a lot to love, but also so much to be disturbed about.

I'm keeping a list with annoying issues, (things that are broken in the interface) in 3 days the list filled up with over 50 issues and inconsistencies.

This makes me wonder, does Canonical run user test? And if they do with whom DEVS? "They'd better bring me in" because obviously it's not being pointed out where Ubuntu falls short in the Interface and user interaction. Even it might be 500 to 1000 things that needs to be fixed, this Ubuntu version is closer then ever to be usable by i wider audience.

Please Canonical run professional usability tests and explicitly EXLUDE DEVS and Ubuntu Gurus from those test!

Solution #1: Run test with non devs
Written by Allards the 20 May 12 at 17:50.
Test usability with a wide audience (seniors,random people, Windows / Mac user from all walks of life) Make it independent from development.
