Rakesh,



If haven't done this already, I would suggest that you compile a list of
specific tasks that can be accomplished with the software. This will ensure
that you focus on the core features of the software. For this type of
testing, you could record the following

* Whether you were able or not able to accomplish each task. Record
details about what you tried for tasks you were unable to complete.

* Time it took to accomplish each task. I'd add a subjective
judgement about whether this time was acceptable or not.

* Number of steps it took to complete tasks. This is pretty
time-consuming, I'd just do this for things that took too many steps.
