New TesterTools – FlairBuilder

There are many tools like Mockups, GUI Prototyping, Wireframing and other buzzwords like that, but the point is to improve user interface quality and usability.  Some of these tools are enterprise ready, some are in the early level of development with many issues and finally some of them are in the middle.  Today I want to write about the one which is the middle class representative, named FlairBuilder.  Let’s draw the short review, but first explore some basic requirements for such systems.

Usability

Why we are using wireframing, mockups?  Because we want to create high usability user interface.  Yes, but how to do that with poor usability tool?  Must be clear, fast, predictable and all the other adjectives regarding proper GUI design.

Presentation

The system must allow online mock-ups presentation, using a separate, free player: html files, flash presentations or screenshots.

Components

Should have a large set of components, but divided into groups.  Easy to find and with group of last used and favorites.  Necessarily include place holders.

Interactions

Must contain a set number of basic events: click, mouseover, etc.

Be online

Easy download, easy install and autoupdate.  Fine website with fresh info.
