ArIED 61850 UI Validation

Use this checklist for changes to the main window, signal-selection wizard, command panel, dialogs, or shared WPF styles.

Test environment record

Document:

  • Windows version;
  • display resolution;
  • Windows scaling percentage;
  • light/dark OS preference when it affects system dialogs;
  • .NET runtime and SDK version;
  • keyboard-only and mouse workflow results;
  • whether validation used synthetic, simulator, or live IED data.

Main window

  • The application opens at the minimum supported size without clipped primary actions.
  • The title, product identity, active workflow, and session summary remain readable.
  • Explorer, Live Monitor, Event Log, and Diagnostics navigation states are visually distinct.
  • Keyboard focus is visible on navigation and actionable controls.
  • The IED list scrolls independently from fixed project actions.
  • Add IED, Open SCL, Connect All, Open Project, and Save Project remain discoverable.
  • Long IED names, endpoint labels, status text, and diagnostic summaries trim or wrap without overlapping controls.

Multi-IED behavior

  • Selecting another IED changes only the detail workspace.
  • Connecting, monitoring, stopping, or removing one IED does not change another IED unexpectedly.
  • Connection, monitoring, unread-event, and diagnostic-alert indicators are distinguishable without relying only on color.
  • A busy device does not block navigation or monitoring for another device.

Signal-selection wizard

  • Search and column filters remain legible at 100%, 125%, 150%, and 200% scaling.
  • Ctrl+F focuses the global search field.
  • Enter or Down moves from filtering to the first visible signal.
  • Escape clears the active search or filter field.
  • Ctrl+A, Ctrl+Shift+A, Space, and row-click selection behave as documented.
  • The tri-state Use header applies only to visible rows.
  • Sorting preserves filter and selection state.
  • Row and column virtualization remain enabled.
  • Cancel restores the previous selection.

Live Monitor and Event Log

  • Values, quality, source, and IED timestamp columns remain aligned.
  • Recent-change highlighting does not obscure text or quality state.
  • Event rows identify the originating IED and signal reference.
  • Local PC time is not presented as the IED process timestamp.
  • Large bursts remain responsive and do not create one dispatcher call per update.
  • Copy and export actions produce readable, bounded output.

Command panel

  • Only the selected command row receives the active visual emphasis.
  • Open, Close, Raise, Lower, Boolean, counter, and setpoint actions use the expected semantic label.
  • Test, interlock, and synchrocheck flags remain on the same signal row.
  • Open and Close require the staged confirmation step before dispatch.
  • Confirm and Cancel actions are visually distinct and keyboard reachable.
  • The current process value and detected control model are visible before dispatch.
  • Long references, AddCause, LastApplError, and diagnostic evidence remain readable.
  • A descriptor that is not operationally ready does not expose an enabled dispatch action.

Accessibility and text behavior

  • Text selection is disabled only where intentional and does not prevent copying diagnostics or references.
  • Tooltips supplement rather than replace visible labels for critical actions.
  • Color contrast remains readable on standard Windows displays.
  • Focus order follows the visual workflow.
  • Buttons have an accessible name even when represented by an icon.
  • Reduced animation or disabled Windows animations does not hide state changes.

Evidence

Attach only synthetic or sanitized screenshots. Do not include customer, employer, station, asset, credential, or restricted network information. Record the exact commit and scaling level with each screenshot set.
