Generic Issues

Fundamental issues to document:

• dead-lock
• unreliable tasks or IO
• race conditions

XML Input/Output

You can easily start ags using --filename <ags_file.xml> parameter or save a file by clicking appropriate file menu item.

• Was everything restored?
• Can you save it a second or third time?
• Is it still interactable?
• May be implement parsing human generated files ...

Graphical User Interface

Advanced Gtk+ Sequencer starts a GUI window per default. You may consider following issues:

• Is the frontend interactable?
• Are the widgets, windows or editors evident?
• Is usability and transparency given?

Plugins / Effects / LADSPA

You can load LADSPA plugins by using machine properties dialog.

• Disabled blacklisted or non-realtime capable plugins
• Restore guaranteed by safing files

Soundcard output / Export

• Is timing and interaction with GUI safe
• Export control sufficient for future usage
