Analysis

Overview

Task requirements

• Review and collect tasks that improve usability of the product and link them here
  • List exact improvements that will be accomplished
• Collect all keyboard shortcuts that are available.
  • A strategy to prevent this "undocumented feature disconnect" is to automatically generate a list of keyboard shortcuts from their definitions in the code.
• Create a Menu item in Help menu that links to a list of all keyboard shortcuts.
• Review and update PLATFORM_NFR_USABILITY
  • Add a discoverability section (see Implementation Idea section)

Task result

• Updated wiki pages
• List of keyboard shortcuts
• Code
• Task list that usability improvement depends on

Implementation idea

Discoverability

Even if software is usable as per the above considerations, it may still be hard to learn to use. Other questions that must be asked are:

    * Is the user ever expected to do something that is not obvious? (e.g. Are important features only accessible by right-clicking on a menu header, on a text box, or on an unusual GUI element?)
    * Are there hints and tips and shortcuts that appear as the user is using the software?
    * Should there be instructions in the manual that actually belong as contextual tips shown in the program?
    * Is the user at a disadvantage for not knowing certain keyboard shortcuts? A user has the right to know all major and minor keyboard shortcuts and features of an application.
    * Is the learning curve (of hints and tips) skewed towards point-and-click users rather than keyboard users?
    * Are there any "hidden" or undocumented keyboard shortcuts, that would better be revealed in a "Keyboard Shortcuts" Help-Menu item? A strategy to prevent this "undocumented feature disconnect" is to automatically generate a list of keyboard shortcuts from their definitions in the code.

Tasks that affect usability

• Help related tasks (help, tooltip)
• Keyboard related tasks (shortcuts)
• Tasks that will simplify GUI/feature
