Ease of Use

Features provided by WTP should be simple to use for users with widely-varying backgrounds and skill sets.

  • WTP User Interface should be consistent and should follow the Eclipse User Experience Guidelines. Experienced Eclipse users should find few, if any, unpleasant surprises or omissions in the UI.
  • Usability and Accessibility reviews should be done for the most common task flows. Cheat Sheets should be provided to assist users in performing tasks.
  • WTP should provide enhanced user documentation, tutorials, white papers, demonstrations.

Ease of Use plan items are designated with "EaseOfUse" in the Status Whiteboard and the "plan" keyword.

Scaling Up

Source Editing must be able to deal with development and deployment on an increasingly large and more complex scale. Source Editing should spend focused effort on performance testing and improvement when dealing with extremely large projects and workspaces, particularly where extensibility is offered.

Scaling Up plan items are designated with the "plan" and "performance" keywords together.

Design for Extensibility

The 'P' in WTP stands for Platform, meaning Source Editing can be used by adopters to extend its functionality. This theme is about continuing to ensure the success of its adopters by promoting new APIs and Extension points. These should be backed with robust JUnit tests and good documentation.

Design for Extensibility plan items are designated with the "plan" and "api" keywords together.

  • Element.getAttributeNode will create an Attribute for implied values [362006] (target milestone: 3.4 M3)
No items.

Quality

Source Editing is one of the most heavily used projects within WTP and carries a correspondingly weighty bug report list because of it. Items under this theme are meant to address the backlog of bug reports not concerning performance and is not to include enhancements. It is expected that these require a significant enough amount of time to merit inclusion within the plan. Items under this theme are only to be chosen by Committers.

Quality plan items are designated with the "plan" keyword and "qplan" within the status whiteboard.
