<br/>Objective: creation of a web-based platform to invite, manage, solicit feedback from and provide feedback to alpha or beta testers of a web based user experience or user interface project.<br/><br/><br/>Problem to be solved is:<br/><br/>- to be able to control, measure, and evolve the experience testers have when trying out a feature or set of features in a mockup or a real site.<br/><br/><br/>Requirements<br/><br/>1. the mockup is built using an external design tool that can export to html, such as pidoco or similar<br/><br/>2. testers use the actual html export of the mockup<br/><br/>a. this platform should be able to access that html export at a given and changeable url<br/><br/>3. each piece of feedback must be time-stamped and associated with a specific mockup page<br/><br/>a. ideally there is a way to drop a pin on the page that points to the specific object on the page for which the feedback applies<br/><br/>4. the mockup creation process and the feedback mechanism must be independent, hence the html export being the bridge<br/><br/>5. the platform should allow the ability to track groups of users tied to specific sub-goals for a user test i.e. subsets of the html export<br/><br/><br/>Proposed approach to solving the problem<br/><br/>1. use WP as a base for capturing feedback, managing users, taking metrics etc<br/><br/>2. develop a WP plugin or PHP code that crawls the whole html export and creates a post for each page crawled<br/><br/>3. develop a WP post template that reads the URL in its body and loads it in an iframe or similar<br/><br/>4. develop a WP plugin that listens to the iframe URL and loads the corresponding post created in 2.<br/><br/><br/>
