Bug Wrangling and Testing

  Sometimes there is not enough info attached to a bug report or it is hard to reproduce. Trying to reproduce a bug and extending the description is of great value.

• Rate Bugs, feature requests, and ideas. This helps that we can focus our limited resources on the most important elements first.

  Having a large set of FBs increases the usability of 4diac for developing control solutions.
