Not testing in the reported version would be careless. But Alfredo's report did state that he tested the version I reported (good work, IMHO). There's never any chance of it already being fixed in that version. > Have you actually tried to reproduce the problem more than once? Can > you see it 100% of the time?

No. See my last comment. >> This kind of artificial bug-squashing statistics fiddling doesn't >> fall within the bounds of acceptable ethical behaviour IMHO.

And the fact that it artifically reduces the number of open bugs, artificially reduces time-to-fix and artificially increases the proportion of idiot-user-reported-irreproducible-bugs doesn't worry you or your managers? It's giving a biased view of developer/qa performance and of users. >> I definitely *won't* be trying 1.0.6beta or any other beta. > Please reconsider this. The main problem I had with the program is its complete lack of documentation. Until that's fixed, I'm just not interested in the program because I can't use it even if it works. Also, in five minutes testing I came across two bugs, either one of which is severe enough to make the product unusable. That's alpha quality, not beta, IMHO. So I'll wait until the product appears to be stable.
