The project specification can be defined in word processor format as you would normally. By adding some special items, such as titled bulleted lists and highlighted text items, both a test suite and glossary can be written right into the spec. The Arbiter server will parse these documents and run the tests, reporting the results into the documents themselves. This allows the client to see project process.
We know it: most people prefer to use pen and paper or a whiteboard to make software mockups because “it’s the fastest way”.
Well, if you count the time it takes to transfer the mockup from paper to a digital image, we think Balsamiq Mockups is faster, not to mention much easier and, dare we say it, more fun!
We optimized the user interface for speed: fewer buttons, more keyboard commands, full undo/redo, object snapping...you name it.
