Hi Pablo,

A detailed problem report is the first step towards getting a bug fixed.

It?s possible that some of the problems you are finding have already been fixed 
if you are using an old version. Which version are you using? (The version is 
in the Help | About menu.)

Hi Thomas, sorry for the delay, I'm moving out and the process is taking a lot 
of time.

That's great! Maybe before open source it, I can help to improve robustness 
doing formal QA. With a robust TD we (the community) don't need an open source 
tool, but a free to use tool that we can rely on. Maybe after that, going open 
source is a good way to look for improvements. Also releasing design 
documentation (i.e. open architecture) so we can write our own ports to 
different technologies, that would be nice but I don't want to lose focus here!

Going back to the current TD. IMO it would be good to have a robust TD with 
support to ADL 1.4, I think it should support current developments better 
before supporting next-gen standards like ADL 1.5. Of course, the focus is 
defined by Ocean and not by the community, just want to make a point that most 
of our platforms are 1.4 and may not support 1.5 in a while. In my case, I know 
that 1.5 will work for archetypes and OPTs, but since all my tooling is 1.4 and 
I'm just taking the next step into OPT, I see support for 1.5 archetypes and 
templates a little far away, mainly for my lack of resources and how slow I'm 
doing progress.

Without knowing what's going on in the internals, my guess it most of the 
problems are related to missing validations at the GUI that violate internal 
constraints, with a mix of poor error handling (maybe not catching all the 
exceptions from the logic) so the app crashes very often. I really don't know 
if it's a lot of work to check out where the issues are if the test cases are 
fully reported (I can compromise myself on doing that if someone from Ocean can 
take a look at the code internally). Maybe this can take a couple of days and 
we can find/fix some dummy bugs that bother users with unhandled exceptions. If 
this is possible, we can coordinate to work on this, as I say, just for a 
couple of days to fix simple bugs and document more complex bugs.

For QA I can make a video via Google hangout and show what I do step by step to 
get the errors and some issues I faced in the past about archetypes translation 
and OPT language.

What do you think?
