28 ** How to make good bug reports
31 * Submit a test case, the smaller it is, the better
33 * Use <a href="http://bugzilla.ximian.com">
34 http://bugzilla.ximian.com</a> to report the bug.
36 <p>In <b>addition</b> to bugzilla, posting to the list is
37 fine if the bug merits larger exposure or design
38 discussions to solve; posting to the list twice or more
39 is just a way to annoy people and make them waste time,
40 specially when you start a new thread about it.
42 * If the test involves libraries or assemblies that are
43 not part of mono, add info about where to download all
44 the dependencies, and how to compile/install them.
46 * If compiling the test case requires more than:
47 <pre> mcs test.cs </pre>
48 provide the <b>full command line</b> you used to compile
51 * If running the test requires more than:
52 <pre> mono test.exe </pre>
53 provide the <b>full command line</b> needed to replicate
56 * Provide info about the version of the software you're
57 using (both mono and the operating system or relevant

62 * Provide the actual output <b>you</b> get from the test case.
