#Usability in Free Software
##Freedom 4: The freedom to use the program effectively, efficiently and satisfactorily. A guide by Jan-Christoph Borchardt.
Abstract
For a software to truly be free, people need to be able to easily use it without help. This is a quick start to usability testing in a distributed and independent development environment: A collection of usability methods applicable especially in free & open source software projects. No matter if you are a developer, usability person or just enthusiastic about making software easier to use, this document should help you get going.
This started out in Summer 2011 as a bachelors thesis concluding my studies of information design at Stuttgart Media University. The original title was Coordinating low-cost usability testing in independent free & open source software projects. Now its an open document, everyone can use it & contribute.
