This interactive capability, which is flash-video based, made it possible to eliminate the
traditional QSG, replacing it with a series of highly functional scripts and tutorial files. Thus,
resources are built into the SPB that not only ease the installation of the software tools, but can
also guide users step by step through various processes. Engineers get clear, concise instructions
based on their inputs and actions within the software tools.
It has been said that a picture is worth a thousand words. The SPB has shown that a well-executed
flash video is worth much more — more than sufficient to justify the development cost involved.
2.2 The “Request then Monitor” Process Engages the User
An example of the creative interactivity implemented in the SPB is a tutorial script asking the
user to fix some bugs that were intentionally placed in the code, causing errors that were detected
during the build process. The tutorial then demonstrates the process of finding and correcting
errors and asks the user to do the same. After the user has successfully done so, the tutorial script
prompts the user to perform a new build of the project.
