Title: Better GUI mockuping for GUI and capturing req.
Post by: miron on September 14, 2014, 12:40:57 am
Good afternoon.
I would like ask about:
Better GUI mockuping for GUI and capturing requirements.

We know that EA has two wasy to creating mockup:

First is very simple and not nice :-(.
e.g. there are not possibility to use GRID to show example of columns and rows.

Second look nice but it is for simulation.
It is in my opinion to complicate to quick creation mockup.


There are not tree view where I could create simple example of tree.
Definition could be easily do by using text like for gird:
Id; Name; Surname
1; Ala;Kowalska
2; Jan;Malinowski

good examples: balsamiq (https://balsamiq.com)

(one of the important issue that one view (GUI) could be derived from
another)
change on first will be visible on second view
in derived we could make change.
(it is visual inheritance like in .NET WebForms Visual Studio)
I allows to show one GUI view in several states.

Would be excellent to have gui mock  in one tools.

You could try the Screen Architect add-in from Catch

although my view is that it's quite expensive for such a specific function.  They'd probably sell a lot more copies if they dropped the price significantly.
