Ooh, cool. Doesn't look like it'd be difficult to create a script like that for Inkscape usability testing. I think we'd want to be more detailed.
Then you'd have to find some real people and put them in front of your computer and Inkscape, seeing how they manage (or fail) to complete the different tasks. Useful tasks could be things like "Draw a curved line between two arbitrary points" and everything else a user should be able to do with the application. :)
We could even provide bitmap pictures of what they're to draw, that they could strive to follow.
Michael is a guru at this sort of thing - he's been doing research into how people handle diagram drawing and things like that.
