A New Manage Test Plans Design
January 7, 2009
I have been receiving a lot of feedback in the New Year from new customers, perhaps because people out there are looking for ways to cut costs and keep things simple. Their feedback as usual has been invaluable, and most recently led me to revisit the design of the Manage Test Plans screen. The impetus for the change was to create a framework that allowed for me to surface more management functionality on the screen and to offer a more compressed layout that allows admins to take more information in more quickly and efficiently. I am not finished yet, so feedback is still welcome. Here is a before and after of the Manage Test Plans screen:

This is great feedback Mike. Let me see if I can't incorporate this feedback into the new comp. I think a new design is definitely needed as this screen needs to differentiate itself more from the dashboard.

He conceived of Test Run to help project managers like him stay up to date and informed of what his team was working on.
Personally, I think the original layout is better as it shows more summary info so the smaller footprint is not really an improvement. The total count and total time estimate remaining are very valuable. Also days remaining.
