Fairy, I've been with the company since March, and have been working to build good test suites for the Squeezebox firmware and Slimserver. The 6.3.0 release was my first Slimserver release. There weren't a lot of bugs in it, but the bugs that caused duplicated album listings were extremely annoying to end-users.
As part of the QA process, I collect sample data from user-reported bugs or create my own to test for these problems in the future. In the case of the CUE sheet album duplication issue (bug 3716), we did try to fix that bug prior to the 6.3.1 release. However, it turned out that fixing it introduced unacceptable additional instability into Slimserver, so we reverted the changes. In the end, in this case, it was not a failure to find the bug, but rather an engineering decision to release the software anyway. Quality is not just a matter of testing, but a process that involves all members of a team. That said, we are very aware that in order to reach a market outside of our "hackerish" roots, we need to improve our Slimserver releases. With the invaluable help of you, our users, we will continue to work on it. -- ChrisOwens Christopher Owens QA Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] (510) 743-1152 x717 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ChrisOwens's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4240 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25070 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
