Aron Budea
Aron has always had fondness for hunting down (virtual) bugs and anything that could be troubling users. Contributing to LibreOffice since 2016 both in quality assurance and fixes, and having been responsible for quality assurance at Collabora Productivity for years, recently he has shifted focus towards directly improving quality by fixing code.
Sessions
Users having to deal with non-native formats in LibreOffice regularly run into various problems related to interoperability. This talk is about how an automated tool recently developed for Collabora Online can be used, utilizing hundreds of thousands of publicly available test files, to find both long-time and recently introduced issues affecting validity of exported XML-based MS Office formats, and how this tool can identify regressing changes using LibreOffice's bibisect builds and the bibisect process. The talk will also show a few examples of such issues, and how they got fixed in the end.
