Menu

1. Help > Feedback submission takes atleast 12 seconds to submit feedback.

The response time is directly proportional to the number of characters keyed

in.

2. Help contains feedback form instead of Help related information which ismisleading.

3. Generate Wireframe option points to saving the file as HTML while Save

option points to saving the file as XML. What big deal? Why confuse the user

with Generate and Save? It could be Save as HTML or XML to make it more

simple.

4. Generate Wireframe name is confusing as the wireframe is already created

and viewed in HTML.

5. There is no Help file in Help menu.

6. Few items like Add Container in the toolbar menu does not work as intendeduntil the toolbar is taken as a separate window.

7. When the application is closed using the close window option, in the

confirmation dialog there is no option to Cancel the close option. Although

there is a option of Saving -> 'Yes' or No, still application closes. Even

closing the confirmation dialog window closes the application.

8. Saving a file with same name which already existed did not give any

message to overwrite the file.

9. On keeping the Control + Shift + J pressed for a minute, I was able to

generate as many as 633 checkboxes, one over another. This is a potential

problem that might irk the users because they might think that by pressing

the shortcut once they might get only one of its components and might slip

their hands for a few seconds on it to discover they have to delete abouthundreds of them.

10.Calendar component doesn't have a selection color around it when it is

selected



3/12

a. When calendar is selected there is no selection (color) around

calendar.

b. No way of knowing whether the component is selected or not.

11.The calendar component does not have any label value by default, while

other components have a default value. Also cannot change the size of the

calendar component by changing the width and height parameters.

12.The default size of the checkbox component cannot be changed by changing

the width and height parameters.

13.Font sizes can be given in 100s and 1000s which goes beyond the screen

border or cannot be seen. What is the purpose of providing the Font Sizes

which may not be of use to the user but can affect the credibility of the

application?

14.Label field does not have maximum length limit and accepts more than 641

characters.

15.Able to enter upto 1000000000000000000000 in font size, width & height

fields.16.The Toolbar cannot be recovered again once lost.



4/12

17.Upon mouse over to the Hyperlink there is no change in the mouse icon.

18.After pulling the image icon it did not prompt for a file or an image to be

inserted.

19.The Button component does not resemble a button when pulled on the frame.

20.Not able to expand the Calendar, when pulled on the frame.

21.Font Style/color missing for all fields containing labels.

Toolbar

1. Snap to Grid does not seem to do anything.



5/12

2. Components on toolbar cannot be selected by clicking on the components.

3. Remove selected Component icon on toolbar does not work.

4. The icons of the toolbar appear to be an image copy that fools the user to

wonder what it does. For instance, 9th from the left has a checkbox ticked

symbol. Unless the user gets familiar to it, it is hard to understand if that is a

real checkbox ticked or an image of that. Why confuse the designers who are

trying to design things in a way to not confuse others?

5. Floating Component Properties box that appears blank has an editable

interface when components are added. While its a cool idea to allow the

users to edit it, the lack of data constrainment appears to cause meaningless

components for the web page.

Risk: A user might make a mistake of entering an invalid data onto the

editable field and might discover that the whole page looks something

different than what he expected and might not know what he did. Added to

that, the X and Y or the H and W takes in large sets of numbers that are

beyond the scope of a display screen.

6. Text Area and Text field icons look exactly the same

7. Toolbar looks like an action toolbar

a. The toolbar looks like an action bar.

b. It should show an info text somewhere that the icons are supposed to

be dragged and not clicked on.

Usability

1. Select any Component on the wireframe creation page > right click > delete

component function should be present.

2. Tab/shift-tab keys are not working on the application.

3. Some options that are required while designing drawings are missing.

4. The options - Copy,Paste,Undo, Save as and Exit are not available here.

5. Dropdown: ALT + DOWN works. Not sure if CTRL + DOWN must work.

6. RMB options like Cut, paste, copy , delete not available in Submit Feedback dialog.

7. Tooltip of Add dropdown is "DropDown' and should be changed to Add Dropdown.

8. Tools > ADD new component list and buttons order are not matching.

9. Components can be sent outside the viewable area by typing negative co-ordinates.

10.No confirmation asked on delete operation.



6/12

Preview

1. Font size for Label component is 12 while for the rest, the length is 9

(Inconsistency in font sizes :-))2. Rows and Columns are missing for Table component.3. The Preview page does not have well defined borders.

4. On clicking a Component, the properties of the components are enabled in theComponent Properties window. Now if I click anywhere on the component window

except the textboxes or labels, the Component Selection is disabled.

5. In Component Properties, the border drop-down looks as if it is disabled.

6. Component properties UI > The selected option in Border cannot be seen.

7. Component properties UI > The value that is being entered cannot be seen.

1. Select any component.2. Component properties UI > Click on any of the following fields to edit

values:- Font size, X, y, Width, Height

3. Enter some values.

4. We cannot see the values that we have entered.

This will lead to the problem that users would not be able to see the

values that they have entered and it will also be difficult if not impossible

for them to edit the values.

Doing this for one component is ok, but it making would be really

cumbersome doing this for the entire layout.

8. Component Properties UI > The UI looks blank.

a. Select a component

1. Click in the component properties UI.

2. Do not click on any of the edit fields but on the blank space within

the UI.

3. The UI looks corrupted or it doesn't look right. Also, the component

gets deselected on its own.

9. Component properties > UI corrupted if cursor moved within edit field.

1. Select a component.2. Properties > Click on the label text field to edit the name of thecomponent.

3. Move the cursor left and right within the field.4. The cursor moves but it leaves a cursor mark where it had been makingthe text field look full of lines.



7/12

10.Component properties > If Length of label goes beyond the text field width, it

cannot be seen.

a. 1. Select any component.

2. Properties > Click on label > Enter text that would go beyond the

edit field width.

3. The text that goes beyond the width cannot be seen.

4. The cursor view should move alongwith the cursor.

5. This will make it extra difficult to edit such a label. it would be like

editing it blindly.

11.Component Properties: Selecting any field highlights the box which makes the

text unclear.

12.Font size -9000 allowed in the component properties window.13.Component Properties: Minimum width can be zero or negative.

14.Component Properties: Container can be for size: width=0 and height=015.Component Properties: No minimum and maximum limit defined for all theproperties.

16.Only 14 characters are displayed in the Component properties for a hyperlink by

default.

17.210 characters displayed in the hyperlink on maximize.

18.Component Properties window: Label width must be increased or scrollbar must be

present.

19.No scrollbar present if the components are placed outside of the viewable area.

20.There is no option to stretch the container component towards the top or

towards the left; they can only be stretched to right side or bottom side.(Note: this also seems to be the behavior of all other components which can

be stretched).

Feature specific

1. Able to submit blank feedback without any typing any data.



8/12

2. EMAIL field enabled when feedback category is not selected.

3. Preferences > render style > able to submit by selecting empty value from

the dropdown.

4. Submit button should be save button.

5. Add Annotation/Edit Annotation page - create should be Create. edit should

be Edit. Title case missing for most labels.

6. Preferences dropdown containing blank items as well.

7. Annotation is created with no content in it : Adding an annotation to a

component .

8. I keyed in about 50000 (of course using my sweetie Perl clip) characters on

each field of Add annotation window and saved it. I attempted to edit thatannotation after the save operation and it appeared to hang for a while.

While I spent time trying to make some notes, I discovered that it recovered. I

tend to think that the time to come up depends on the text in each of those

fields. This might kill the system to death. Risk: A user might have a need for



9/12

a long explanation of a specific component and might discover that it isn't

worth doing it on this application. He may not want to proceed using this app

if he discovers during his first few tests. Risk: A user by mistake might click

on the create after initiating Add Annotate and might end up wondering why

the application accepted a blank annotation. A blank annotation is as good as

no annotation.

9. I copy pasted 500000 characters onto the submit feedback window. While the

text was in the process of being pasted, I moved the window and this is what

I saw.

10.In Add Annotation,

The Text box is touching the right corner.

For User Action, System Response and Notes, pressing tab indents the textbox, hence there is no way one can switch between fields using the keyboard.

Also there is no option to Tab back i.e. Shift+Tab does not work.

11.Annotation > The scroll bar is cropped a lot and not shown completely

a. Select add annotation.

General

1. Desktop Shortcut not placed on the desktop after installation

2. Able to initiate multiple installations in parallel and able to install on

existing installation. Does not directly check if it is uninstalled

3. Send Feedback page displayed immediately after install when run

Wiremaster is launched.

4. Wiremaster product absent in Add/Remove programs.

5. There appears to be no Undo option available to the users. Risk: The

target users of this application are designers and are likely to experiment

with ideas. On the course of experimentation they might want to perform

an Undo after not liking a new change they did. I can think of designers

who wouldn't want to use this again because of this vital component

missing.

6. Most dialog boxes / error messages I encountered so far has a title same

as the text in it. As per Windows Logo certification standards it is

supposed to be the application name.

7. Uninstalling the application doesn't prompt for the risk of losing all files

stored in its default folders of storage. The cool thing about uninstall is - it

is just a two click process but without prompting me of my loss. That

makes it hot.



12/12

8. Multiple installation instances can be launched.

9. Multiple instances of the same application can be launched.

10.

When Installing the required size shows 160 MB. I had 4 GB available, then

before pressing install, I added a file which made the available size 65 MB. I getthe error. Here the error message is not proper for a normal user. After that

nothing happens. And if I click Cancel, the other files are not copied.

11.When run Wiremaster for the first time, unable to view the User Interfacescreen completely. (Screen Resolution of the machine used: 1280 x 800 )

12.Start > Programs: Order of Uninstall and launch needs to be exchanged. This

might accidently uninstall the program.
