General Information Morae is used for the usability
testing of software 3 Components:
Recorder Remote Viewer Manager
Recorder Recorder saves and synchronizes
the UI actions and data inputs of a user
Recorder is installed in the same computer as the software to be tested
During testing Recorder will run in the background
Remote Viewer With RV the members of testing group
can observe the actions of the user Audio channel Video connection (e.g. WebCam) Screenshots
Notes and comments can be added for a further analysis and viewing
RV does not have to be used in all test sessions (if e.g. pen and paper will be enough)
Manager
Manager is used for creating project in which the test sessions are imported from the Recorder component
By using Manager’s search function a spesific kind or user actions can easily be found
Manager
Manager can be used for (e.g.): Searching, editing and classifying RV
users’ notes and comments Calculate the time the user needed to
complete a spesific task From the notes and user actions
video compliations can be exported using Manager
Technical Environment Components communicate using
wired/ wireless network The basic setup can be expanded:
Several Remote Viewer –components for multilple viewing
Several Recorder/Manager-components for testing multiple users of analyzing multiple cases simultaneously
Some Hardware Requirements
Win2000, XP, (Vista, Win7?) Pentium min. 1,5 GHz Min. 500 MB RAM Min. 10 MBps connection
Testing
Configuration of the technical environment
Feeding in the data of test & test users
Configuration of shortcut keys to the RV (e.g. ’N’ = navigational error)
Choosing the input sources
Testing
Configuration of the start and endpoints of the saving (E.g. user opens/closes browser application)
Testing the environments Start the application to be tested Make sure that the Recorder starts
Testing
Establishing a connection between the Recorder- ja Remote Viewer –components
Make sure that the camera and mic are working properly
Running the test User starts up the software Recorder starts up and starts to pass
data to the Remote Viewer(s)
Procedures After Testing
Analyzing of the results e.g. Time user for the subtasks (start/end
markings) The navigational paths user chosed to
use The difficulties experienced by the user Search for a specific actions by the
user (e.g. mouse & kb events)
