Hi all,
I would like to hear about processes and techniques that you use for
measuring and comparing task completion rates between two software
applications.
To explain a bit in detail...
I want to compare the ways two similar applications follow to help a
user perform the same task.
The parameters I am thinking of comparing are.
1) Time
2) Number of clicks
3) Satisfaction rates
4) Intuitiveness
etc...
Thanks for your help in advance.

* Time to learn
* Number of restarts
* Severity of errors
* Maximum performance (ie: Just how fast/well can a fully trained
user complete the task; does the UI impede expert users?)
