Usability

Accessibility

legibility / transparency: how easy is it to understand what is going on under the hood and how to use it?
configurability/localization: how easy would it be for me to use it at my agency?
extensibility: if my model needs are slightly different, how easy is it for me to change/add to it?
how easy is it to set up hardware?

Completedness
[ less of a focus – more guidance about how we should evaluate it ]

Fixed #93 Remove NA alternatives before calculating probabilities
Fixed #94 exit when no alternatives available
Fixed #124 tour_mode_choice incorrectly assigns coefficients
Changed utility coefficients in school_location, work_location, and mandatory_scheduling expression files to prevent no-alternatives-available errors (for which we created issues #121 and #122) These workarounds set utilities to -100 instead of -999 to prevent errors from being thrown so we can continue to run the tests and the model.
can now comment out or set false to disable variability check now, check_for_variability: False
@Billy - accept pull request for openmatrix fix from Jeff to work with the latest version of pytables #123
@Ben - still need to document new CDAP #120
@Jeff - looking into issue #117
