"Announcing TestStand 2020" Comments and Feedback

Hi all,

 

We recently closed the comments of the Announcing TestStand 2020 post, which included removing the current comments. Apologies to those that commented on the post, your feedback was captured and viewed by the R&D team.

 

The intent was to move the discussion to a separate post, but due to the storm in Austin, this was delayed until today. Please use this post to provide comments and feedback on TestStand 2020. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Hello,

 

I don't know if this was already given as a feedback, but I think using only black icons in the toolbar is not a good way.

Human brain is very good in pattern matching, which is more sensitive for colors, then shapes.

Please consider update with colorful icons in TS 2020SP1.

Are you going to move the comments and discussion from the initial thread? Or the time we took to provide you feedback there was wasted? You could at least list here what you managed to capture so that we don't have to repeat ourselves.

I totally agree!

The new design seems to be created by people that are not using this tool but just want it to look more fancy. The loss of colors makes it much more difficult to keep the overview of your sequences. It's like going back from color TV to black&white TV. 😟

 

Please consider to return to the old and intuitive color scheme for future releases.

Some sort of line delimiting would be nice to make it easier to trace from a Test Name on the left hand side to a Test Result on the right hand side.  The example screen capture given in the old post is OK from a line delimiting perspective as the Labels and If steps provide enough delimiting but consider the situation where you have 15+ test steps consecutively, as shown below, where it is difficult to determine which result is associated with which step
