Testing outcome

Noticed problems

  • Was looking for a right-click menu in Repository Manager several times
  • Could not find the License Information for CMR (looked in About box, Menu,..)
  • Was not comfortable with the data selection page in wizards for saving, copying and recording
  • Looked for storage edit in right-click menu
  • Copy to storage action not found (did not know about it at all)
  • Was confused with icons in general
  • Did not find the filtering options in the storage manager
  • He expected that the Repository Manager view refreshes the data after the action

Noticed exceptions

  • CMR Repository had description null at some point
  • Deleting the storage has a mount question still
  • Refresh on the Repository view does not refresh the property sub-view

Suggestions from test user

  • Dialogs should have Cancel, not Close as an option for aborting the task
  • After actions on repository view should be updated, otherwise user does not know if the action had any effect
  • General problem with icons
    • Stop recording icon not good, suggested something like a stop sign
    • License icon reminded him to Adobe icon
    • Copy buffer should be similar to clear buffer, with the small copy sign in the corner
    • The finalize storage icon reminded him more to editing
  • Define data in wizards problematic and not understandable
    • The additional options should correlate the context more
      • Don't show additional options if the data type is not selected
      • Or show them in second page, based on the selection in first
    • Maybe group similar sensors in groups
  • Time selection
    • Should not change the displayed boxes, but put them box visible
    • Time selection options should be initially visible, but disabled, then user can know what to expect there
  • Right-click menu for CMR Repository view
  • When saving invocation, "grayed" box is very confusing. When some other type of data is also selected, extract invocation check-box should be checked automatically
  • Suggestion to display the server anyway even when agent is selected in Repository manager
  • Editing actions was difficult to find. Consider some changes, maybe adding it to the right-click menu.
  • Add icons for add/remove labels in the storage manager
  • It's confusing to understand the difference between remove label from Storage and CMR. However, reading the documentation on this would solve the problem.
  • Suggested to have copy action also in data explorer, because it seams more logical for him to copy data from the view where he is exploring the same
  • Filters should be more visible in some way.
