How do you document change in button states?

Post by idotdot »

I have a team back in india and I need to send them how various buttons and controls will change state when use clicks one button.

For example, When user clicks button A, Button B should be Enabled, the Label of button a should change to "XYZ" Some text box on page should be disabled.

There are many buttons on the page and have effects on other buttons.controls.

What is the best way yo document these states?

Thanks a lot

I'd guess multiple screenshots/mockups of different states. For example, label one mockup "Button A pressed" and show the screen how it should look, etc.

Or you can describe it just like you did here - it seemed pretty straightforward.
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.
