New page

Basic Testing

==Problems==
===Mice===
* Getting tested stuff out of the testing area
* Unclear instructions

===Keyboards===
* Incoming overflow, takes up lotsa space
* Not processing incoming quickly enough
* How to test USB?
* Ancient software for PS2
* Some good stuff getting recycled
* Unclear instructions

===Speakers===
* Unclear instructions
* Unmatched speakers and wall warts
* Not-so-basic testing to match speakers and wall warts
* Takes up a bunch of space
* Reluctance to recycle anything

==STRATEGIES==
* Improved instructions
:* visual examples (e.g. recycle something that looks like this)
:* add some color to break it up
:* clearly placed instructions, preferably on the wall
* Getting receivers to auto-recycle ugly keyboards and mice (to slow the flow)
* Embrace speaker recycling, recycle freely
* New keyboard testing software
* Smaller bins for tested mice with clear instructions on where to take full bins
* Change the physical layout (TV testing still happening in there?)

 Basic Testing
-*We need signs in the classroom (and maybe some designated bins) for where to put incoming mice, keyboards, and speakers/headphones! Also, we need to have a plan for what to do when we fill up those bins. Put them on the floor in the classroom? Keep them in receiving instead? What would be better? [[User:Brittany|Brittany]]
+*We need signs in the classroom (and maybe some designated bins) for where to put incoming mice, keyboards, and speakers/headphones! Also, we need to have a plan for what to do when we (receiving) inevitably fill up those bins. Put them on the floor in the classroom? Keep them in receiving instead? What would be better? [[User:Brittany|Brittany]]
 *When we have a dedicated mouse/keyboard tester scheduled, it's difficult for me to walk the line between making sure they have enough to test while still making sure that they destroy the unsightly things! If we up the standard for what we consider ''clean'' (mine's pretty high), then there's ''not'' a whole lot of 'testing' happening. Basic destroying is more like it. [[User:Brittany|Brittany]]
