Kaffeine

Project name:Kaffeine Usability Report
Software version: Kaffeine 0.8.1 with the Polyester theme7 and the nuoveXT icon set
Usability engineer:Chi Shang Cheng
Date of report:July, 11th 2006
Related URL:Kaffeine Usability Report (PDF 2,7 MB)
Executive Summary:

After a short heuristic evaluation of Kaffeine, a total of 40 usability issues were found. Only 5 issues of high severity were found, 20 were marked medium, and the remaining 15 issues considered lowly severe.

Most of the issues were related to unnecessary complexity of the user interface. The application was not tested for task-oriented usability. Even though the application functioned properly from a technical perspective, attention should be given to a more aesthetic user interface design in the future.
