Are the results of these studies used in any broader way beyond the products being tested? For instance, do they influence future revisions of the API design guidlines of the .Net framework or something along those lines? Is there a company wide repository where architects and developers can gleam the data for common patterns--a more collective body of knowledge, so to speak?

  • I work with Krzysztof, Brad, Joe, Mitch and others on the WinFX review team. Whenever we're reviewing an API, I'll look for API designs that I think will exhibit the same issues that have been observed in the labs. We'll discuss during the review the extent to which the same issue may or may not manifest itself in the API we're reviewing and the API team will decide whether or not they will make changes.
  • When we observe patterns of behavior across multiple studies we roll these up and produce a design guideline that aims to inform API designers how to avoid the same issue.

    • Thanks,

    Steven
