I recently read EMBT’s Delphi RoadMap and was very happy so see that QPS (Quality, Performance, Stability) is item #2 on the Delphi 2014 list. I certainly hope that these items appear in order of priority. One of the primary issues I keep hitting is the Out of Memory error, although far less frequently thanks to Anders’ workaround. If you can’t see the QC report in your web browser, perhaps like me, you are not authorized to see it on the web. I can view it fine in the QC Windows Client:
Out of Memory Error - solved internally
I am happy to see that this bug has finally been fixed according to the QC # and many other duplicate ones. It appears to have been fixed as early as January 30, 2014 according to the Closed status replicated from the internal bug tracking system. For those SA purchasers suffering from this problem, it kind of makes you wonder why this hasn’t been shipped as an update.
I was just going through my QC reports since I wanted to see if the QPS initiative had resulted in some of my long standing reports being addressed. Sadly I don’t see any movement in that direction yet as a great number of my QC items are still in the Reported state with no comments of any kind. Perhaps the QPS initiative will mean that QC will no longer be administered by “volunteers”, or perhaps they will recruit additional volunteers to help with the backlog. I know I would happily volunteer to screen QC reports if it meant helping the product get better and I received a free license for my efforts…
