<font face="Arial">Was this a regression test of people's patience?
Did we fail? What was the baseline?<br>
<br>
Comprehensive automated testing tools are like code-writing code.
Great concepts for managers, not so much for those in the trenches.<br>

According to gmail, it's taken 38 emails on this thread to go nowhere
(#39 right here!).<br>

Regression testing tools are imperative, but Plasma is a perfect
example of new software that requires hard work and human scrutiny.<br>

Put my name in the hat of human testing for 3.5 and 4.0 releases.
(unless by human testing you mean avon and Mary Kay testing techniques)<br>

<pre wrap="">Very true indeed. I helped out with testing KDE 2 and it was really fun,
but when KDE 3 beta came out, I couldn't spend as much time with it as
it needed because of all of the bugs. There needs to be a set of
regressions that are run after developmental changes.

i feel like i'm talking to a brick wall here. we could have 10x the number of
regression tests we currently have and there would still be bugs that get
through. we need more people (e.g. not developers) doing q/a testing. i've
explained why a few times now, so tell me: what part of that explanation is
not clear enough?
