  <defectDescription defectId="TEXT_FIELD_INPUT_RATIO" briefText="many text inputs">
    <textFragment>
      The ratio of interactions that enter text into text fields is relatively high in comparison
      with the other user interactions (
    </textFragment>
    <parameterFragment parameterName="textInputRatio" />
    <textFragment>
      %). This should be reduced. As an example, entering data can also be done using check boxes
      or combo boxes in the case predefined values must be entered.

    </textFragment>
    <parameterFragment parameterName="textField2" />
    <textFragment>
      during the same session. Perhaps this can be automated, so that the user does not have to
      reenter the same text several times into different text fields.

      % of the text entered into text field

    <textFragment>
      was no letter or digit. This is an indicator that the entered data has to follow a specific
      syntax. This should be supported by syntax checking, auto completion or even providing the
      text fields in a way that does not require the entering of special signs as they are already
      included at the right positions.

      You should consider making the task more efficient, by minimizing the number of actions to
      be executed by users for fulfilling this task.

    <parameterFragment parameterName="ratio" />
    <textFragment>
      % in average). Such actions are, e.g., scrolls. The number of inefficient actions should
      be as minimal as possible to increase the users efficiency in executing a task. Please
      check the task structure for occurrences of the following event tasks and consider to prevent
      them: scrolling.

      clicks is

      actions. Please consider showing the user some progress after he performed the
      first click. This is especially important if the operation triggered with the click usually
      takes longer than one second. This defect was observed based on task

      visible to the user or they are not required. If they are important, they may not be
      recognized by the user. This can be caused by visual design or because they are too hidden.
      If they are less important, they can either be removed from the GUI or relocated to a less
      prominent position. The unused GUI elements are:
