[Dev] Enhanced User Interface and Eclipse Plug-in

[Frank Cohen]

Dear PushToTest Developers:

PushToTest delivers TestMaker 5.1 as a Java SWING-based application.  
While the product is satisfactory to a wide selection of users,  
PushToTest users have commented that they would use TestMaker more  
often when it provides a streamlined and easier-to-use graphical  
interface. The Enhanced User Interface project delivers the following:

1) A user interface design that may be deployed as a SWING-based  
application, as an Eclipse plug-in, and as an Ajax browser-based client.

2) Visual cues to the most important features.

3) Graphical means to create and edit TestScenario document.

4) Visual ways to store, retrieve, and update PushToTest artifacts  
(TestScenarios?, TestPlans?, Operational settings, and Data Loading  
settings) in the local file system, in the repository (TestMaker 5.5  
and later,) and version control systems.



We are now working on an enhanced user interface. This work is  
describe at:

Your feedback, comments, and ideas are very welcome!

-Frank
