This is a top level task for a usability review of the SwitchYard editor. Subtasks will be created to encompass the review of specific component functionality.

For these reviews, the following should be considered:

• Wizards
• Default values - are all fields appropriately defaulted, including context specific defaults (e.g. class name in bean component wizard)?
• Validation - are all fields appropriately validated (e.g. duplicate service names)?
• Usability - are controls appropriate?
• use combos or auto-complete for text fields
• use selection dialogs whenever appropriate (e.g. class/resource selection)
• Properties
• Dirty flag - are updates made even when the content has not changed?
• Atomicity - are update operations as atomic as possible, for exmaple:
• Is a property updated after every keystroke?
• Is it required that a multiple fields be updated simultaneously, but possible to update them individually?
• Usability - are controls appropriate?
• use combos or auto-complete for text fields
• use selection dialogs whenever appropriate (e.g. class/resource selection)
