AFAICS there are three major techniques addressed:

1) bibisecting the problem

2) reducing the document

3) stack tracing with debugging symbols


Techniques 1 + 3 are described in detail in the wiki:

1) https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Bibisect

3) https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/How_to_debug
   and also for Windows:
   https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/How_to_get_a_backtrace_with_WinDbg


Technique 2, reducing the document, should be easy to do IMHO (though
tedious for big/complex documents): just remove all the objects from the
document one by one and at each step look if the problematic behavior is
still reproducible. As a first test, you can copy all contents from the
problematic document into a new document to exclude that there is some
(old/inherited) flaw in the document structure.

[Libreoffice-qa] Advanced Triaging - Tutorials?

2015-04-12 Thread Joel Madero
Hi All,

There is a bug that needs some advanced QA work on it and I'm curious if
anyone wants to take a stab at it and try to document the process
(including screenshots and/or screen captures).

I think it's a good opportunity to document how to go about doing the
requested triage work - honestly it's beyond my skills right now but I'd
love to learn.

Best,
Joel
