I have the first prototype complete AND I have detailed user feedback data however one of the key components in beta testing software (specifically user interfaces) is making changes to the interface as recommended from the feedback and then beta testing the ALTERNATE interfaces. This form of cyclic research development is usually reserved for research teams given the short time frame and the large amount of work involved.
I am pleased to say that during my TIP research I have managed to beta test multiple versions of the user interface and make significant strides in developing innovative designs that solve fundamental issues surrounding semantic mapping of digital resources. There remains a number of "bugs" that still need to be solved and of course there are still a great many ideas that have to be developed into workable prototypes. Given the challenges and the fact that these interfaces are truly original and to some degree can be considered a leading edge technology I am very pleased with the progress that i have managed to make in such a short time.
Hopefully with only a few weeks left of this I have finished building the some of the prototypes that have been designed directly from feedback the second and third beta testing cycles as they demonstrate just how far the interface has come from the 1.0 version.
