Yeah, we use the beaker to mean unit tests. We like the icons because they keep the layout dense, but if the meanings aren’t clear that is good feedback for us

Props for accepting feedback!

A decent number of people's brains just don't assign meaning to images. I'm one of them. As an example, I've been using an iPhone for several years. I still routinely click on the Notes icon instead of the Reminders icon, as well as, the Maps icon instead of the Weather icon whenever I'm rushing and don't take time to read and say the app name in my head.

I'm not sure if it's tied into being an auditory learner, but I know I'm not alone.

Interesting, thanks! We will maybe make that an option in the future for those who prefer text vs icons.

Adding tooltips to all icons would go a long way.

Our old friend spiralganglion! Good to see you here. And thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the pun :)

I noticed an "error" in your icons. The icon for "dependencies" of a function is a left->right spreading tree, but should be a right->left condensing tree to suggest to left->right language speakers that the dependencies are coming together rather than going apart. Similarly, the responsibilities icon should be switched to be a left->right spreading tree to show that the function is going out and being used in many different places.

You should provide tooltips regardless of whether the meanings are generally clear.

Yes, more tooltips would be useful, and perhaps shorten the hover time for them to appear. Thanks.
