Heuristic Usability Evaluation keywords in bugzilla

[Andreas Nilsson]

Bugzilla recently gained the ability to add heuristic usability
evaluation keywords to bugs [1] and per Bryan's suggestion, I started
applying them to our uxprio bugs [2]. The intent with this is to make
everyone involved with the bug get a better understanding what it is
about and reduce the amount of personal anecdotes or theoretical
grandmother scenarios.
If people feel these work out and ease their way to talk about UI
issues, we can start applying them on a wider scale as well.
As a introduction to the concept, Alex Faaborg wrote a blog post about it.

Thanks, Andreas; this is great! My hope is that these keywords will
make a significant difference in helping us use a common voculabulary
and common concepts to discuss UX changes, and that that will result in
more productive discussions.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out in reality and what
folks think after we've been using these for a little while.
