- Dashboard (already captured)
- Ticket-Liste (main ticket list)
- Ticket details
- Kanban board
- And 30 more modules
Phase 3: Use-Case Analysis
After all screenshots are captured:
- Visual analysis for each module
- Identification of UI patterns and workflows
- Documentation of any new use-cases
- Update main documentation
Phase 4: Documentation Integration
- Add screenshots to USE_CASES files
- Create visual user guide
- Integrate with CI/CD pipeline
- Generate training materials
🎓 Key Learnings
What Worked
- Backend Configuration: Pointing to demo URL immediately resolved connectivity
- Credential-Based Auth: Simple username/password was more reliable than OAuth
- Specific Button Selector: Using
button[type='submit']avoided ambiguous selectors - Network Idle Wait: Ensured page fully loaded before screenshot
Technical Insights
- CentronNexus uses DevExpress Blazor components (DevExpress styling visible)
- Dashboard is the home page after login
- Real user accounts and data available in demo system
- Simultaneous data loading from multiple backend calls
