Designer Issues Detection

In the process of developing software applications, usually programmers focus on specific interface issues, while basic yet important global designer problems tend to be overlooked. An example of such an issue is checking whether designer controls follow a correct tab order or not. In conjunction with the presence/absence of hotkeys, this may lead to serious (and embarrassing some times) problems, which can affect the program quality impression. Fortunately, CodeSMART can now be instructed to analyze designers for detecting some of the most common known issues.

To review Designer Issues settings:

  1. Click Designer Analyzer in the Reviews popup menu on the Other Tools toolbar or select the same entry in the CodeSMART main menu in order to display the Designer Analyzer dialog box (quick toolbar and menu references are available).
  2. Click the Designer Issues tab in order to display the corresponding options pane.
    Designer Analyzer - Designers Issues
  3. Check/uncheck the items you want to include to or to exclude from the analysis. While each option control is focused, a descriptive hint text will be displayed in the top frame of the dialog.
