1. It's very helpful to see functionality number but I wouldn't have it as a separate line (also "Functional requirement" is wrong text). I suggest we do it like this:

Functionality 3: - :User: should be able to edit :Task:

That is, we add functionality number after "Functionality" text. This also saves precious space in TUI.

2. Seeing module information is helpful when it's not the current module. In that case it's redundant. I would therefore show "of module..." only if it is a different module, not current.

3. I also think that showing number of attemps is not particularly helpful (the user can't do anything about it) and it's potentially misleading (being mistaken for a progress bar).

I think showing just the elapsed time is the right approach. It communicates to the user that something is happening and also educates the user what is the normal duration of each step so that they can take action (ctrl+d) if something takes too long.

Therefore I'd like to ask to remove number of attempts from the UI.

Great points. Building on point 3 - would it make sense to add a timer for each state? That is to have timer for the Implementing the functionality, Unit tests, Refactoring and Conformance tests lines?

I wanted to iterate quickly on a specific frid and wanted to cancel it early if the Conformance tests state was taking too long - hence I introduced the attempts count and used it as a heuristic for that frid to cancel after eg. 5 attempts. Or if some previous frid was being fixed for more than a few times that I was not expecting it to be fixed I concluded I need to improve the specs of at least one fo those frids.

Same would be achievable if there was just a timer for the entire state (not just for the substate of running conformance tests for a specific frid). Maybe also a timer that persists when fixing conformance tests. WDYT?

Thanks for the suggestion but the entire TUI needs to be rethought so I wouldn't focus on it too much other than addressing the most obvious and important issues.

Hey @dusano, just added the changes. Below are the screenshots of the TUI. Here are the changes.

• of module is now shown only shown when a previous module is being processed
• removed attempt counter for both unit and conformance testing attempts
• moved the frid to the Functionality field

@zanjonke no further comments from me. This looks good and can be merged and deployed.
