The great bug hunt 2.0
So with Tom and Paul fighting to get PAT to 1.0 we need all the help testing we can get. In an effort to nail down all the bugs in the basic stuff we need as many people as possible to test the normal query routines in as many different weird and wonderful environments as possible. Each of these tests should only take about five minutes and don’t need any thing installed it can all be done from the live demo so break out your browsers and help us build some thing to finally get rid of JPivot
Test 1: The basic Query
1) Point your web browser at demo.analytical-labs.com
2) Log in using the provided details (just click login)
3) Click on the cubes menu item at the top
4) Click on the Quadrant Analysis option to create a new query on that cube.
5) Drag Measures in to the top right blue square in the checker-board grid
6) Drag positions into the bottom left blue square on the grid
7) Press execute query
8) You should now have a basic table. Click on the green plus next to all positions. This should let you drill into the data
Any thing you think is odd let us know. When reporting things please provide your operating system, web browser version numbers, if possible a screen shot and the time that the problem occurred (this helps track down any errors that may show up in the logs as it may be a while before we see the forum post)
Further tests:
All of these are from the end of the first basic test
View the charts:
1) Press the charts button
2) Select a location option in the pop up menu
3) Revel in the splendour of the flash chart
4) Change the type of the chart using the three buttons at the top of the chart.
Download an excel export of the results:
1) Press the Export option
2) You should be given the save/open option dialog for your browser, pick either option.
3) Open the file you have just downloaded or wait for it to open automatically.
4) Da Dah Hopefully an excel file of your report hopefully.
So please take five minutes out of your days and let us know what you find. Results where every thing works as you would expect are as helpful at times as failed tests. They let them know that things are on track.
Now go forth and break it.
