I am looking for individuals in the Dallas/Fort Worth area to help me with two software evaluation projects. Individuals who live in Austin, Houston, San Antonio or any other southwest city where Southwest Airlines flies would also be considered. In fact, if you are a Client/Server Database Application developer and live outside the Southwest I would still consider having you participate in the study. I have attached 2 files, (Microsoft Word format) which are my subject screeners. Reports.doc is for the Reporting end users and Clntsrv2 is for the Client/Server developers The following information details the two studies I am doing: Reporting Tools *************** This evaluation will happen June 16 - June 27. The evaluation of the two products takes 1/2 a day and the compensation is $200.00. Test subjects will create reports with the product they normally use and then do the same with the competing product. The end users who use neither product will start with either one of the products with the order being reversed between users to allow for diversity. We are also looking for following types of end users: 1. Oracle Reports 2. Seagate Crystal Reports 3. Non-programmers who have some DBA experience and have a need to create reports. Client/Server Database Application Developers ********************************************* We are looking for Forte, Microsoft Visual Basic 5.0, Oracle Forms 4.5 and PowerBuilder 5.0 developers. The software evaluation will happen July 14 - August 9, and will take 2 days per user with each user being compensated $800.00. In the morning of the first day, users will use the development tool they currently use to complete a set of tasks. In the afternoon they will use one of the other three competing products. In the a.m. of the second day they will use the third product and then the fourth. We normally run our usability tests during the week but as an option we will have subjects come in on Friday/Saturday & Sunday/Monday. This way they would only miss one day of work. Potential test subjects can contact Louis Capone at 972-550-1599 or 800-820-1222 for more information.
