Table 3: BioSuiteT’s impact on user challenges from [PERSON]’s survey. This table summarizes BioSuiteT’s impact on the user challenges when users use other bioinformatics tools; these challenges were identified in [PERSON]’s survey. bioinformatics, sixty practitioners from various institutions, and eight software developers who tested all implemented functionalities and interface elements. The users were assigned specific tasks to assess platform usability, feature completeness, and integration efficiency. The types of assigned tasks are described below:  
* Tasks that included advanced workflows, such as sequence analysis, structure visualization, parameter identification, and execution of multi-step pipelines requiring the use of several integrated tools. * Tasks focused on routine bioinformatics operations (e.g., BLAST searches, phylogenetic tree generation, data retrieval) to assess usability and accessibility for non-programmers. * Tasks that involved reviewing system stability under load and validating backend integrations and automated installation processes. * The quantification of key performance metrics is described below:
* A 95% reduction in technical support requirements was achieved by comparing the number of support requests submitted by non-programming users using BioSuiteT with those using standalone bioinformatics libraries. This was monitored over the testing period and confirmed through post-test surveys and usage logs. * A 90% reduction in tool switching time, which is derived from time-tracking logs during user workflows and application log tracking. Participants performed identical multi-tool tasks using both BioSuiteT and traditional setups involving multiple separate tools. The time taken to switch between tools, reconfigure settings, and report/export data was measured and compared. The unified interface of BioSuiteT resulted in an average of 90% time savings during these transitions, equivalent to a reduction of approximately 465 s, on average, for completing a proposed task. In summary, the validation results are presented below:  
1. User Testing * 8 researchers, 5 experts directly involved in bioinformatics, 60 practitioners, and 8 developers participated in the testing process. * Complete coverage and validation of all implemented functionalities. * Thorough validation of user interface elements and interactions. 2. Platform Performance * No installation issues reported for the web-based version. * 95% success rate for automated local installations across different environments. * Less than 2 GB of memory usage during peak operation. * Stable performance under a full load of 80 concurrent users. 3. Usability and Efficiency Gains * Non-programmers successfully completed the tasks without additional support. * 95% reduction in technical support demand compared to installable tools. * 90% reduction in tool-switching time due to the unified set of tools in a single interface.
