Hi Roberto,

Sounds like this project can provide good data to validate/discard usability hypotheses
 
Some might think about privacy in some projects, can you describe what kind of information this is going to record?

Thanks

Hi guys,

As part of my research, I am conducting an experiment on how Pharo developers use the IDE and I really need you.

My final goal, as we discussed at ESUG last year, is to improve the UI of our IDE to better fit our needs.
To do so, I first need to collect interaction data from real developers.

I would like to ask you if you and your team could install DFlow, my interaction profiler, and record your
development sessions on a daily basis. The tool is not intrusive and requires minimal effort to be used.
There is a simple UI that lets you start/pause/stop the recording. When you stop the session
it automatically shares the data with me (through HTTP requests).

If I manage to collect enough data and discover some insights I will share them in my ESUG talk!

I am looking forward to hearing from you!

Cheers,

Roberto
