Quality Assurance
One of the most important responsibilities of QA team is to produce meaningful bug reports which will help developers to fix a problem.
If You have found a problem, please submit it as an Issue to GIS.lab bug tracker, assign bug tag and provide as much information as possible about the situation when the problem happened and step-by-step instructions how to reproduce the problem. If some specific data is needed to reproduce a problem, please attach also small sample dataset too. Please report only one problem per one Issue. You can also assign Issue to particular person.
If You want to report application crashes, please provide so called traceback which will help a developer to locate a possible reason of Your problem. Follow these instructions:
- Open a Terminal window (Accessories > Terminal Emulator)
- Start GDB by running command
gdb /usr/bin/qgis - Start application by command
run - Do whatever You need to reproduce Your problem
- If application crashes save approximately last 30 lines of GDB output to text file
- Print backtrace by running command
bt - Press SPACE until You reach end of backtrace output and append it to a text file which You have created before
- Attach text file with GDB output and backtrace to Your bug report
