New Interface: What did you want to improve? Leantesting lost the 'Lean'
You have put a lot of work into the new interface and what you achieved is: It looks like you have put a lot of work into it and it creates a wow factor from looking at it. Everyone sees that and probably values it.
Unfortunately: I do not see where you have put thought into it.
Filter Options are horrible, especially the arrow navigation
The overview is totally lost for me because you want me to navigate on the side
Especially, as an unfrequent user I do not find a thing
To sum it up, it's not apparent to me on what you really wanted to improve. Previously, data was connected, the interface was fast and I could navigate through bugs from overview to a filtered list.
Filters have always been a pain in your software and now it got even worse.
My summary is: Lean testing just lost the lean, sorry to say that. I do not see any advantage toward JIRA anymore

Hi Lukas,
This update addresses probably 10 or 15 improvement requests that users had made.
The main one being "less clicking".
Now you can easily navigate between bugs having to go from: bug #1 -> bug list -> bug #2 -> bug list -> bug #3
You can also jump between projects more efficiently by pressing CTRL + K or clicking on the "Street signs" icon in the header. Previously you had to go back to the dashboard to do that.
In-line editing
Now you can edit any part of a bug report without having to go to another page.
Site speed
You talk about speed - the overall loading speed of this version is significantly faster loading than the previous version due to countless optimizations.
Clearer organization of tools for each project
Lean Testing now is much more than just a bug tracker. There's:
- a really neat Test Suite tool that allows you to manage test cases and keep track of test results per test runs,
- a mobile SDK that you can use to allow any user to report bugs directly from within your mobile applications,
- you can also run automated test scripts without having to maintain a cluster of Selenium grid servers,
none of these features are things that Jira offers, and sadly these features weren't particularly obvious.
So you ask what we were trying to improve?
Primarily, more efficiency and secondly, getting our users to use more of Lean Testing than just the bug tracker.
You can always go back to Jira, there's nothing I can do to stop you.
But I don't see their CEO taking time to answer your message about your opinion of his software, telling you that he cares about having you as a user and that he's genuinely interested in hearing your ideas about how we can make the filters more efficient for you.

Hi Lukas,
We just released an update to the bug list that brings back some of the style of the old UI. Hopefully you'll like it better!
