Another 12 hour day of testing has come and gone. Yesterday, the two testees were beginner users who were asked to attempt a slightly different test plan than the more advanced users: dive into quite a few core utilities by creating content, categorizing content with taxonomy, creating menus and blocks, and configuring permissions and paths.
The tests with new Drupal users are nerve racking for all of the observers. We saw that something as simple as adding a menu and positioning the menu's block can take a very long time. It is obvious that we take a lot of things for granted, and exactly what these things are, and how we can make lower the learning curve, is exactly our goal with these tests.
