You can imagine my reaction to this stupidity.  It was like no no you are not suppost to find bugs by doing it the wrong way, only do it the way you are suppost to use it. I think at the end of the day, they just started to believe that things are not always so rosey.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My simply reply to people who think like that is &amp;quot;would you rather we find the bugs inside these walls before we ship, or would you rather I find them outside these walls and publically announce them with repro scenarios on zero day - which I would do) because do not think that somebody out there will care how you should or should not use it, its the result that counts&amp;quot;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;They changed theyre tune after, the more they start to nit pick, the more I would target a specific area.

I hit hard and i bite back.  I wont stop until a product is hard to break.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I dont belive in pussy footing around when it comes to breaking software, and neither will a person outside those walls with the intent of doing the same.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Watson</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/chris_pratley/archive/2004/02/04/watson.aspx#67303</link><pubDate>Wed, 04 Feb 2004 11:09:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:67303</guid><dc:creator>Ivan Towlson</dc:creator><description>Of course, there is a limitation in that this stuff only picks up fatal crashes, not misbehaviours.  Suppose one person in a million encounters a bug with saving certain documents -- a really nasty one where it keeps losing user data in the saved documents.  Most victims of such a bug would perceive the product as highly unstable, far worse than the odd crash once in a while (especially with autosave!); but because the *process* is still running, Watson never hears about it, and the developers don't get that valuable one-in-a-million repro data.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is obviously a much harder problem: it's easy to automatically detect a process crash, but there's no obvious way to automatically realise that the program is doing the wrong thing.  And I don't mean to deprecate the efforts of the Office team in improving that baseline stability.  But it does illustrate that stability from the *user* point of view is much more than the low-level issue of the process staying up.</description></item><item><title>re: Watson</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/chris_pratley/archive/2004/02/04/watson.aspx#67305</link><pubDate>Wed, 04 Feb 2004 11:16:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:67305</guid><dc:creator>moo</dc:creator><description>Give all your testers at least 2 way machines for concurrency or at least give them access to such configurations.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What strikes me odd is you develope on Dell machines yet sell Compaq configurations all because of contract obligations.

Somewhat the concept of software engineering itself, one cannot interpolate. But interesting logic. This “bug” might cause another bug to forthcome, therefore fixing all bugs be not the goal. What would be wrong with fixing BOTH bugs in your example? Not a zero-sum game, why an either/or? You have to bug-test your bug-fix too.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;“...the first thing to realize is that you are not trying to get rid of every bug.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Why not? Ignoring known defects? If other industries would do such, they get sued, product liability litigation, but in software par for course. Bugs are expected, glitches are the norm, not everything can be tested, too many variables, Ver 1.0, “we will patch these bugs later”. Sadly, thats the nature of Software Engineering.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;However the “code, collect data, fix” approach, has its limits, namely spending most of the time fixing self-created problems. Great a tool to chart and catalog them, but that is still all after-the-fact. “Correct by Construction”, Component-Based Design and Perspective-Based (Peer Review) Reviewing/Testing can help greatly too. And, of course, litigation and legislation, sadly.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That being said, it must have worked wonders, at least for this version, as OneNote sure firmed up, the betas were literal nightmares. :)</description></item><item><title>re: Watson</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/chris_pratley/archive/2004/02/04/watson.aspx#67407</link><pubDate>Wed, 04 Feb 2004 16:03:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:67407</guid><dc:creator>moo</dc:creator><description>Thats the problem with software. Nobody will accept liability (Except IBM on AIX and the big iron but not Linux).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Everybody is so quick to point fingers and play the blame game and quick to say &amp;quot;we are not responsible&amp;quot; yet they made the product.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Accountability is something that is missing from software.  This would be more so for software only products, and less of the case for &amp;quot;process control systems&amp;quot; that have software as an integral part.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Its about risk taking.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Another problem with software is the amount of immature people in design, all too quick to prove ego and funky code blocks and less on good solid coding.  All to eager to show this obscufated line of code that looks cool but most likely breaks when any granny farts within a 1 mile radius - Ive seen this attitude all too often and as a result of alot of people fresh out of University with no clue.

I am not sure I understand the &amp;quot;FUD&amp;quot; comment, given what that term actually means.&lt;br&gt;3. Yes, the Watson process can sometimes take a long time to build the dump - you might think it has hung. I've never seen it actually hang, but it can look like it at times if you have an app crash that has a truly enormous working set.&lt;br&gt;4. All code has bugs, no matter what methodology you use, so Watson-like techniques are going to be useful even if you have perfectly planned and architected code.&lt;br&gt;5. Watson in the future will be modified to collect information on bugs beyond crashes and hangs, and incomplete setups.

However, absolute perfection is hard to achieve. With thesauri and spellers, those tools usually come from other companies who often produce a print version of a thesaurus or dictionary, and have decided to make an electronic version and license it to us. They are contractually obligated to verify that the tools do not have any issues. Of course Microsoft employees who are lexicographers also check the content, but there will be an occasionaly error. As SpiderJerusalem noted, we fix these aggressively when the errors are noticed. BTW, many of these &amp;quot;errors&amp;quot; exist in the print versions of the same thesauri and distionaries but for some reason they are only noticed when it becomes part of a Microsoft tool. This is probably because they get used more, Microsoft tools are considered by many to be the &amp;quot;standard&amp;quot;, and it is entertaining to hassle us - you would agree with that part, right? :-)</description></item><item><title>re: Watson</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/chris_pratley/archive/2004/02/04/watson.aspx#69572</link><pubDate>Sun, 08 Feb 2004 11:29:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:69572</guid><dc:creator>moo</dc:creator><description>Here is an anoying bug, on EVERY IE control that ANY application is using, if I hold down CTRL key and click the left mouse button, why does IE launch?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I just had 28758475978 IE windows open up non stop with about:blank#66678 in it and it just got stuck in an infinite IE window spam mode.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There is no need for crap like this on a control.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Its probably one of the MOST annoying windows control bugs.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Watson</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/chris_pratley/archive/2004/02/04/watson.aspx#69574</link><pubDate>Sun, 08 Feb 2004 11:38:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:69574</guid><dc:creator>moo</dc:creator><description>Even more bugs, if i DOUBLE RIGHT CLICK on an IE windows control on ANY application it again opens IE in my face.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What genius dreamt up this?</description></item><item><title>re: Watson</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/chris_pratley/archive/2004/02/04/watson.aspx#69575</link><pubDate>Sun, 08 Feb 2004 11:43:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:69575</guid><dc:creator>moo</dc:creator><description>To reproduce this annoyance.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Open up the web page (this works for any application that uses windows controls like this text box).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In the blog Comments multiline textbox, hold down CTRL or ALT GR and click the left mouse button OR double click the RIGHT mouse button with NO keys pressed.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;WTF kind of behaviour is this for a text box?

The Gnome desktop for Linux and Unix has had this tool for at least the last five years.  Every application crash can report back related details plus user comments.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You're almost claiming in your post that Microsoft invented the idea.  Hardly.  I, and everyone on my development team at a major financial firm, have been putting bug tracking features directly into our applications for at least 6 years.  The simplest example is every time an error is raised the user can press one button to automatically e-mail the team all related info.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Just because Microsoft is finally starting to do something sensible to raise quality doesn't mean it should be hailed as a brilliant step forward.  You're just barely starting to catch up with the rest of the world.

I didn't mean to imply that no one has had similar ideas. Nothing is ever truly orginal anyway if you look hard enough - any idea came from another idea, or was &amp;quot;independently invented&amp;quot; in an environment that was conducive to it being conceived. I simply wanted to write about Watson and how it improves our software - and that we provide it as a service for others too. Depending on how widely your app is used, managing the reports that come back requires some significant backend system after all. One thing that makes Watson a little different from other systems I have heard about (and I have not especially researched this area), is that it collects all feedback as long as a user lets us. Other systems tend to require that you proactively report a problem, so that you can miss segments of users who are not aware how or are comfortable with taking that step.&lt;br&gt;BTW, have you done a rigorous comparison of QA methodology in Microsoft and the &amp;quot;rest of the world&amp;quot; that backs up your assertion that Microsoft is behind everyone else in quality? We have volumes of data that indicate that our software preforms very well compared to the majority of sotware out there (from looking at the Watson data in aggregate), as well as customer satisfaction surveys etc. What similar statisticially valid data are you using? I am not being flip about this - I care deeply about software quality, but it is quite easy to toss off remarks not backed by data, so I would love to hear any data if you have it.&lt;br&gt;Most of the time comments about poor quality in Microsoft products measure the subjective frequency of comments from others around them, and do not take into account the rate of usage of our products. If 100 people use a Microsoft product and 10 are unhappy, that sounds worse than 1 person complaining about a product used by 5 people (10:1 ratio of complaint frequency), yet the complaint ratio for that product (1 in 5 or 20%) is twice the Microsoft ratio (10 in 100 or 10%).</description></item><item><title>re: Watson</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/chris_pratley/archive/2004/02/04/watson.aspx#70339</link><pubDate>Tue, 10 Feb 2004 02:50:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:70339</guid><dc:creator>Philip Rieck</dc:creator><description>Chris,&lt;br&gt;I'd love to sign up for WER, but the $400 price tag (for a Verisign ID) is a bit steep for tools that sell under $20 (or free!).

We are very serious about being explicit with what exactly we are collecting and what we intend to do with it. This is an opt-in feature where we are simply asking you to help improve the product, which of course you do not have to participate in.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The crash dumps are made available only to the registered and verified creators of the application you were using, so you only need to trust them, not the whole world.</description></item><item><title>re: Watson</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/chris_pratley/archive/2004/02/04/watson.aspx#121594</link><pubDate>Tue, 27 Apr 2004 23:28:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:121594</guid><dc:creator>innocent bystander</dc:creator><description>To moo: It's not like Watson is the only choice for crash data collection on the Windows platform. You can trap all exceptions with SetUnhandledExceptionFilter and record whatever data you want &amp;amp; send it to a server of your choosing (using tcp/ip yourself). Of course, you'll have to do a little more yourself this way than when using Watson, but I suppose the ease of use is what you're paying for.</description></item><item><title>re: Watson</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/chris_pratley/archive/2004/02/04/watson.aspx#596813</link><pubDate>Sat, 13 May 2006 12:33:04 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:596813</guid><dc:creator>osru</dc:creator><description>Hi everyone!
