[Sigia-l] Re: Automated User Testing

PageRater does that.

ftware.html  

I use to run a service at the University of Queensland's Key Centre for
Human Factors and Applied Cognitive Psychology. Unfortunately development on
it stopped a couple of years ago and its no longer available, so I'm now
using PageRater instead. The only statistic that the Key Centre's software
use to provide which I can't find a tool to measure is navigation
uncertainty based on Shannon's information entropy algorithm. I think
Alfresco design might be adding it to the PageRater program soon. If anyone
knows of something I'd be happy to hear about it.
