My colleague carries out functional projects for software under development. His knowledge of Delphi, Visual Studio, and other compilers is limited to writing the Hello, World application, which, as it turned out, contains dozens of errors. So, technical knowledge? Does not exist ... But it is not required for its function, since it is his job to collect information and record the functional part of the project. (My task is to fill out the technical details.)
The problem is that the client asked him to provide some thumbnails of the screen layout of some of the new forms that we want to add to the project. Usually I just set up some quick forms in VS or Delphi, take screenshots and provide them with them. It works, but it delays its work and takes a lot of time for both of us.
So now it modifies existing screenshots in Paint. It works fine, but a little primitive. So is there any dummy software that will allow an easier way to draw diagrams to add to the documentation? These dialogs are for documentation purposes only, so basically a set of stamps for some better Paint application might already be sufficient, although I would prefer something more interesting than that.
I am looking for software to develop mainly WIN32 applications containing some .NET elements. (Some processing is done using web services and .NET client libraries.) FD should easily create a form that is included in the functional documentation. This documentation is then sent to the customer by e-mail, which will display form layouts for users to verify the usability of these projects. Then these users will receive feedback on things that can be improved, which leads to the fact that FD will adjust the images according to their wishes until they are happy.This customer has been a happy customer of ours for several years now and thus they are used to a specific location. Thus, designers like sketches are cool (add them too!), But they are not the exact designers I'm looking for.
For those who are wondering ... Written documentation is an important part of software development. But the development of forms before the stage of technical design is generally bad. However, sometimes it helps to have such images in a functional design, so it would be nice if functional designers had an easy way to create such images. I really wondered if SuperUser is the best place for this, but it feels strongly related to development.
