Is it really free ? Is there some limitations of any kind?
Yes, it is free. No, there is no limitation in time or in features.Why is it free?
Well, I have an attractive and interesting position as QA Manager in a fun company. I have just enough time on the week-end to add new features and bug fixes.I found a bug. Where can I submit it?
XStudio is NOT 100% tested because of a lack of time and may contains some bugs. Any bugs can be reported through the dedicated forum.I have Vista and I cannot run XStudio, what's the problem?
Starting with Vista, programs are no longer allowed to write into theProgram Files path.
If a program designed for Vista attempts to write anywhere into Program Files, a permission denied error will occur.
Unfortunately, XStudio writes all its data (i.e. license.dat of xstudio.conf) there.There are 2 ways to workaround it:
- 1) Preferred solution: Install XStudio on a folder with no security limitation (i.e. C:/Users/<your account>)
- 2) Disable Vista's security features
To do so, disable the UAC of the system. To do this, follow this procedure:
- In the Control Panel, click User Accounts and Family Safety
- Click User Accounts
- Click Turn User Account Control off
- Click on OK
- When prompted, restart the computer. Note that the changes will affect all users on the computer
- Re-install XStudio
If you still have problems running XStudio, copy the files
license.dat, xstudio.conf and bugtracking.confto:C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Xqual\Xstudio\bin\
Is it planned to have a better documentation in the future?
That's completely true that the documentation is outdated and pretty small. There is some plan for a real documentation to be produced in the future. But for now the priority is to adding new features and fixing bugs. However, I tried to produce a software that does NOT need any documentation to be used by any even non-technical person.I'm getting an error when I start XStudio on Linux, what is the problem?
You need to have permission to write file inbin, requirements, specifications, testplans, reports and attachments folders.
The easier is of course to run the program as root.
