Architecture

In this section, the product's architecture is described. Any individual components or actors are identified, their "knowledge" or what data they store is identified, and data flow between components and external entities is described.

The main objective of this feature/product is: The goal of Test Pilot in Thunderbird is to launch Test Pilot studies to learn how users use Thunderbird to make improvements to the products. For example, we would like to launch studies such as the Menu and Toolbar and usage study to learn what menu items and buttons users use the most to improve the UI of the product. Another study is a "Day in the Life of a Thunderbird User" to learn about usage patterns. These studies will help us make improvements to Thunderbird and tell us where to focus.
