Audience: Mainframe application developers with varying degrees of GUI competency.

Objective: This is a page from the online help that described the Eclipse UI workspace for the InterTest application development product. The GUI interface was new and many of the users had very little experience with GUIs. 

Challenge: The audience for this guide varied widely. Many of the mainframe application developers spent their careers using the mainframe green screen – a text-based interface – and were not familiar with graphical interfaces. The newer application developers grew up using GUI-based applications. They were very familiar with GUIs and were able to navigate most of the features intuitively.
