Re: EvalTF Size of Sample

I am wondering if there is a way to have a more dynamic approach?

For example, the default "base sample" could be as little as 6 pages but 
the sample would grow depending on the features available on the website 
(forms, tables, multimedia, scripting, PDF, etc.) and on the (estimated) 
overall size of the website.

I think the concept of "sample lists" heads in that direction but we 
need to make these lists more modular. This way very simple websites 
would have smaller sample sizes than larger and/or more complex ones.

Best,
