Introduction

So, you've somehow acquired the Fedora Usability Lab. Perhaps you've volunteered to run some usability tests at an event or show, or perhaps you got a group of friends together to test out some software you've been working on in Fedora. Great! But, what next?

  1. First, let's review what equipment the Fedora Usability lab will provide you.
  2. After that, we'll review what equipment you'll need to supplement the kit with in order to run a successful usability test.
  3. Finally, we'll walk through how to assemble the usability lab.

By the time you follow the steps in this document, you'll have configured all the equipment you need to run a usability test.
