Steps to conduct the test:
Start the
application. While using
the application, check that these guidelines are followed:
Text and selections
Correct Note types are used in different situations.
Error notes are valid, informative, and easy to understand.
Terminology is not too technical but familiar to target users.
Text is not ALL CAPS; only the first word begins with a capital
letter. Truncated text or abbreviations do not exist. Grammatical mistakes do not exist. Terms and sentences that may cause misunderstandings are
not used. Images do not substitute for essential text. Editable components are in the correct format when starting
to edit them (numeric, alphabetic). Editable components do not accept invalid input and give
an understandable error note if invalid input is given. Radio button and multi-selection lists are used correctly.
If the user has only one option to select, a radio button list is used.
Layout and navigation
Every screen is easily readable. The screen is fully used when applicable. Text has good contrast with the background. When possible, the application uses prefilled forms to support
the user in writing. By default, lists loop and have a scroll bar on the right
side (from S60 2nd Edition, FP2 onwards). Navigation is clear and intuitive and follows the same logic
as the system applications. If a grid component is used in a tabbed pane, it must be
clear how to navigate between the tabs and scroll the grid horizontally.
Exit, Cancel
Exit is available in the Options list (S60). Pressing the End key (red key) closes the application (from
S60 2nd Edition, FP2 onwards). User is able to reverse the actions.

Expected test result:
Usability guidelines listed in the testing steps are followed.
Different notes are used correctly according to the S60 UI Style Guide
(see Section 6.7, “Notes”).
