Bug Report
We do our very best to deliver you stable and feature-rich software. Yet, issues may bypass our tests; we're a small team and the software can be used in many different ways. This is the section where you can let us now about behaviour of Ecopath versions 5 and 6 that you think is not correct, and where you can submit suggestions for improvement of the software. In this wiki, any user report is referred to as a 'ticket'.
Pending tickets
You can find all reported tickets listed here.
Reporting new tickets
Please search the list of open tickets before you report a new ticket; people may have already addressed the same issue.
Best practices
Reporting errors via a ticketing system such as Trac is quite a straight-forward process if you stick to a few simple rules. A good bug report ticket needs to have:
- A concise but informative title that explains the essence of the problem
- A list of steps explaining how to reproduce the bug
- A sentence explaining what is expected to be seen
- And lastly, a sentence on what was experienced instead of the expected behaviour
- Optionally, if the ticket only appears using specific data sets, this data may have to be provided
An example for a reasonably good bug report is ticket #1240.
