Dashboard - The main landing page tracks the status of solutions the user has entered into the system. It also gives feedback from certification reviewers in the form of security alerts affecting components identified as being part of the user's software applications. Support is given in the form of helpful links to further resources, and personalization is present through user-defined configuration of each module on the page and the page itself.
Report page - As users go through the step-by-step process of certifying a software application, they are given very visible feedback as to what step they are on, what they have finished so far, and what required steps remain to be completed. Access backwards to previously completed steps are given at all times for ease of modification. Contextual help is available on all sections through pop-up menus, and the color scheme, buttons and icons help make apparent to users the function of pages.
Early wireframes (PDF) - This set of wireframe sketches shows a user's flow from the dashboard through a specific type of hardware technology certification.
