We’ve made a change to how we will handle “Needs More Info” and “Cannot Reproduce” reports in Quality Central. When the Sysop or QA engineer reviewing the report decides on this resolution, we’ll put the report into a ‘Pending’ status. This means that the report could not be verified with given steps/information. Sysops and QA can query […]
Quality Central is seeing a fair amount of activity in the past week. To give some insight into ‘whats going on’ - daily the development managers meet and review the last day of reports into Quality Central, both public and private. We go through as many reports as we can, and try to either promote […]
We’ve been working on an update to Delphi for PHP.
This update contains more then 70 fixes and touch most areas of the product.
We’re looking for field testers to test the update. You do not need to already have Delphi for PHP, so this is also a good way to take a quick preview and work with the development […]
We’re going to run a contest during our Highlander field test. It should be fun and a good way to encourage the field testers to work closely with the development team. Call it an ‘Iron Chef - Coding’ event, if you will. And the ingredient to be served up is ….
The new ASP.NET Provider.
To enter, […]
We’re starting the field test for the next product release on our roadmap, code named Highlander. Some of the features we want feedback on are ASP.NET features, supporting .NET 2.0/3.0, consumption and creation of parameterized types (“generics“) in Delphi for .NET, Vista support, ECO IV and some very cool database features. Review the roadmap document […]
Spent an hour with Nick Hodges, John Kaster, Calvin Tang, Jeff Wilsbacher and Mike Devery discussing Quality Central use in CodeGear.
We discussed a variety of topics, John also gave a walkthrough of the reporting QC provides, and we took a look at several QC clients.
John also made a good point - QA should first be […]
Chris Hesik sent me an email this morning offering to show me the tools he’s using to data mine the AIR’s in Quality Central. Of course I agreed, and we’ll meet on Monday.
In addition he sent the following out on an issue he found using this tool to another R&D engineer.

I’ve been doing some data […]
Hard numbers - a search this morning on Quality Central resulted in 3980 Reported issues for Delphi. This should include ’everything’ - all versions, all locales, feature requests, the works.
What’s interesting is the C++ number - 144. David Dean (was an active field tester, now a member of my team), and Leo Siefert seem to be the […]
Quality Central is getting a lot of attention this week. I found out we had over *two thousand* QC reports in a ‘reported’ state. Yes, the system is expected to be maintained by Sysops and community members, but it’s starting to make CodeGear look like we do not care about our products. We really do […]
