The test screen, which is one of the most important in checkbox, was confusing to users we spoke to. A few changes are needed in how the controls are arranged:

- The test result buttons should be made into radiobuttons.
- The comments field should always be present, rather than requiring clicking on a button to reveal it. Users also complained that the field was confusing since it just appears out of nowhere.
- Keyboard shortcuts should be added to the controls, so that testing can be driven with the keyboard.

Since the bulk of these changes are UI related, I was confident I could get this in before UI Freeze, however it ended up requiring a few changes to the code, which need a Feature Freeze exception to be accepted.

This is the old test screen:

This is how the new screen looks like:
