A spritied defense, yet the simple fact is that until they identify what platforms they test it on and what tests they perform, the unknown gaps in testing indeed get pushed to we consumers. The limited regression testing increases the number of these instances we need to deal with.
For instance - If I had any warning that a making the jump from my well performing 6.0.2 release to a 6.2 release with unusable performance (library scan and UI reponse) with NO OTHER CHANGES to hardware, software, or network, I would not have tried it. And, if I needed a specific level of RAM/Mhz/system software to support the upgrade it should have been posted in the read me. As it was, all I saw was the OS version (which I met). I admitted it would be too complex a task to detail all configurations available in my post, BUT I see no reason why they can't identify what they test it on and how it compares to the last release. If I can see the deltas in their tests and on the platform they tested on it stands to reason I should be able to estimate what would happen on my configuration. I'd also be able to see if they didn't test anything near my configuration, thus leaving the guess work to me. If I have to jump in and become my own tester, I'd like to see what my baseline is. -- Bonesteel ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bonesteel's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1438 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=17864 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
