Identifying design issues in electronic forms

A system for identifying errors in an electronic form generating process, said system comprising:

• a plurality of form design checker objects, each of said form design checker objects for identifying potential design errors in an electronic form;
• a reporting object coupled to said plurality of form design checker objects, said reporting object for receiving reports of potential design errors from said plurality of form design checker objects and for generating a list of potential design errors from said received reports;
• and
• a user interface coupled to said reporting object, said user interface for receiving guidelines for formatting an electronic form.

Instructions on a computer-usable medium wherein the instructions when executed cause a computer system to perform a method for identifying potential design errors during an electronic form generating process, said method comprising:

• receiving guidelines for formatting an electronic form;
• performing a form design check on said electronic form, said form design check performed by a plurality of design checker objects applying rules consistent with said received guidelines;
• generating a list of potential design errors identified by said form design check, said list of potential design errors generated in a reporting object;
• and
• displaying said list of potential design errors in single task pane of a user interface.
