Design Commitment

Vivid is committed to being a long-term island of stability and transparency.

Updated and tested versions of Vivid Trace are made available via the Atlassian Marketplace so that Vivid Trace can be easily updated using Jira's Universal Plugin Manager (UPM). The exact timing of release varies, as it depends on Vivid's organizational capability, changes in new Jira releases, and changes made by Atlassian to its add-on development program, among other factors.

Compatibility with older releases of host platforms is dropped when those releases reach end-of-support status.

Due to varying levels of adherence for web standards in supported web browsers, users of supported but older, partially incompatible web browsers might experience functional and visual degradations among other inconveniences.

Universal Accessibility

A primary value of Vivid Trace is realized through comprehensive visualization of large amounts of data for efficient processing by the human eye. Although Vivid has made some affordances for universal accessibility, we have not developed a comprehensive method of translating the visual experience into one where a potentially overwhelming amount of issue and relationship detail can be efficiently described through a screen reader or other assistive device.

Affordances for Universal Accessibility:

  • Color is used sparingly, adhering to the Atlassian Design Guidelines (which considers universal accessibility concerns), and otherwise deferring to established precedent in recent Jira releases.
  • Vector-based visuals are employed, wherever pragmatic, because they can be cleanly enlarged without pixelation.
  • Textual information is kept trimmed down to key meanings so that text-to-speech systems can better identify and more efficiently synthesize information.
