[09:39:13]<slarmour[m]>hi mstenta and jgaehring - I have completed my testing. See link below to google doc. Pertinent feedback is marked in red bold. This app is great and will really help me and others I'm sure. Let me know how I can help further.
[09:39:14]<slarmour[m]>https://docs.google.com/document/d/1h0CUX1W9Q8dYvqr5KoB1ZKgSEcpyefCygjy-...
[09:50:25]<mstenta[m]>Thanks slarmour !!! This is so helpful!
[09:50:48]<mstenta[m]>I was talking with jgaehring about trying to add some automated tests to the app eventually - and this would be a great reference doc to start from
[09:51:07]<slarmour[m]>Nice, that's a great idea
[09:51:18]<mstenta[m]>This is really well organized - do you have background in QA?
[09:52:37]<slarmour[m]>hmm, nothing formal.
[09:52:57]<slarmour[m]>I've never done software QA as part of a job
[09:53:21]<mstenta[m]>Could have fooled me haha!
[09:53:28]<slarmour[m]>I write a lot of legal documents and organization is key in them, so maybe that's where i picked it up
[09:53:36]<mstenta[m]>Gotcha - makes sense
[09:53:45]<mstenta[m]>Attention to detail :-)
[09:53:57]<slarmour[m]>Yup
[09:54:09]<slarmour[m]>Also not having experience in something hasn't stopped me from doing it before...like farming lol
[09:54:25]<mstenta[m]>Haha that's the spirit!
[09:55:54]<slarmour[m]>Let me know what else I can do to help with FarmOS generally and the app specifically. I want to do what I can - you and others have put so much work into it.
[09:57:21]<mstenta[m]>Thanks slarmour ! We really appreciate the help!
[09:57:52]<mstenta[m]>I'd love to develop a more rigorous testing framework for farmOS in general
[09:58:17]<mstenta[m]>I'm hoping to make test-driven development a priority for the 2.x branch, since we'll be starting some things from scratch in that code
[09:58:39]<mstenta[m]>(And since Drupal 8 has a lot of tests for the underlying stuff we'll be using anyway - so it should just be a thin layer on top)
[09:58:56]<mstenta[m]>Maybe we can show you how to write tests! :-)
[09:59:47]<mstenta[m]>Realistically that won't really start for a while though... it's a big priority, but there are more immediate priorities on my plate in the near term
[10:01:08]<slarmour[m]>That would be fun. Would be happy to. And totally understand about priorities. Like kids and babies!
[10:06:14]<mstenta[m]>Haha yes
[10:07:28]<mstenta[m]>Actually slarmour: if you have some extra time, would you like to create some bug reports in https://github.com/farmOS/farmOS-client for the issues you discovered?
[10:07:50]<mstenta[m]>That's basically what jgaehring or I would need to do next anyway
[10:08:12]<mstenta[m]>You could link back to the doc from those issues too, so that we can get back to it easily in the future
[10:08:48]<mstenta[m]>(it might also be useful to add a column to your doc that links to the issues you create)
[10:16:22]<jgaehring[m]>This is fantastic!
[10:19:51]<jgaehring[m]>wow, so much good detail, and much more rigorous testing than I've done to date, by far!
[10:27:31]<jgaehring[m]>slarmour: I agree with mstenta that the best thing, if you wanted to do more, would be logging those issues in GitHub. I also tried sending you a DM, not sure it got to you or not, but if you were inclined to do more beyond logging those issues, I'd love to talk to you about expanding this into a testing program, so we could enlist additional testers to use a similar process. All up to you, of course, and how involved

[12:26:15]<mstenta[m]>Reminder to everyone that the farmOS monthly call is tomorrow at 2 pm Eastern
[12:26:31]<mstenta[m]>https://farmos.org/community/monthly-call/
[16:00:05]<jgaehring[m]>Something mstenta and I have on the agenda for tomorrow is how to gather feedback from users, particularly non-developers, in a more coherent and actionable fashion. I've posted a summary of our dicussion here: https://github.com/farmOS/farmOS.org/issues/15#issuecomment-472157073
