Tracker Live Demo – Multi-language Product Development
NetResults Tracker version 6.0 multi-language demo provides access to NetResults Tracker workgroups supporting multiple languages (including double-byte and multi-byte languages).
This demo describes a fairly simple traditional product development scheme. By logging in as the various users of the system, you can obtain a feel for how the system works for each individual in the development process.
The primary workflow used by this demo looks like this:
Reported > Scheduled > In Development > Fixed > In Test > Tested > Released > Closed
There are four organizations involved in the process:
- QA - responsible for testing and reporting bugs
- Development - responsible for fixing bugs
- Build - responsible for putting fixes into the software build
- External - external customers or partner company that wish to report bugs and check on status
Within each organization, the following users are defined (you can log in as any of these users):
| QA | qa_mgr - QA Manager qa_one, qa_two - QA Engineers |
|---|---|
| Development | dev_mgr - Development Manager dev_one, dev_two - Development Engineers |
| Build | bld_mgr - Build Manager |
| External | ext_one, ext_two - Customers or Partners |
The password for each user is the same as the User ID. Feel free to log in as each user and perform normal operations.
Things to Note While Trying out The System
- After logging in, you are presented with a "home" page that summarizes the records either submitted by the user, or those assigned to the user.
- Use the Task button to advance the state of a record. This allows each person assigned to a record to enter the correct information after completing their assigned task without any specific knowledge of the workflow as a whole.
- The workflow is set up so that when one individual marks a task complete, it is automatically assigned to a manager, who then assigns it to an individual for actual handling. In this scheme the manager need only log in to see what records he/she must assign to individuals for processing.
- NetResults Tracker allows limiting access to records by user group. For example, in this demo the external users are only allowed to see those records that their company has submitted.
- NetResults Tracker allows limiting access to function by user group. For example, the Manager users are allowed to edit the fields of a record, but regular and external users are not.
- Each user can define their own saved queries and report layouts. They can also use the saved queries defined for any user group of which they are a member.

We have set up six NetResults Tracker sites with identical workflow configuration and users. These sites have examples of different languages represented in NetResults Tracker. Any language can be typed into any of the demo sites below. Three of these sites do not allow login by the the Admin user so that all users can use the system without unexpected changes occurring in workflow, schema or user databases. The other three sites do allow login by the Admin user and full administrative features are available to try out on these sites.
