Bug testing

I've had a lot of crashes with 3.0 doing normal stuff. It would be nice if the simplify3d team actually did their own bug testing. I pay for a product, I'm not getting paid to bug test your software. FOSS has an excuse to offload the testing to its users, commercial software does not.

Re: Bug testing

Yup, now I get a crash every time I try and slice a project. And then waiting a while, it magically goes away. Maybe however they "fixed" the memory leak causes this.

I have yet to have had any problem. I've done a lot of testing. Perhaps the problem lies elsewhere?

Re: Bug testing

I didn't have any problems with v3 for the first few days, but now it's crashing on me a lot. No error messages or anything, it just quits. I haven't looked in the system logs yet. This is on a Mac.

Re: Bug testing

The only kind of info I can give is it seemed to be when I was quickly changing settings and quickly trying to slice the model. Almost like I was clicking too fast for the program.

Re: Bug testing

I haven't had any issues at all with v3.0, and I use it a LOT. If you encounter a crash, you should send the crash report to the simplify3d support team so they can investigate.

PS - I have also emailed with the S3D guys and know for a fact that there was months of testing for v3.0 with many users before it went live. Several users on this forum already mentioned they were involved in the early testing.

Re: Bug testing

I don't have time to be filing the error reports with Simplify3d... hence my rant.

It certainly appears to be model dependent. I haven't encountered a crash in a while now.

There is a difference between QA testing and giving a program to a bunch of random people.
