          • If a user installs IGB without watching our Start Guide video on YouTube, he/she should be told to watch it upon the first launch of IGB
          • Add a red YouTube button in IGB that takes users to the YouTube channel
          • Focus usability testing on users finding and following instructions in a user's guide and finding and following instructions in the online help
          • Also test how the parts work together and support each other. So seeing how users can click a blue or colorful question mark beside an area in IGB takes them to the corresponding help video or help page
          • We need to know whether users go to the documentations or help page/videos and how well the documentations and help pages and videos help them when they do go to them
          • What sort of testing techniques have you used to test new IGB features?
            **What software was used to track the user's information?
            **How were the users monitored? camera? physically?
            **Did they work alone or as a pair?
            **Was active intervention used? which is when the users are asked why they chose a certain action at the time of choosing it and what their understanding of it was at the time?
          • Are there recordings of a previous usability test?
          • What procedures were used in usability tests for IGB?

          The ultimate thing to remember:
          When you find a problem while testing, think of what lead to this problem in terms of development process and steps. "how" and "why".
