Good figures showing the power of LibreOffice

Hello! Documentation Team!

I recently downloaded some files to test whether they would open in LibreOffice 4.

When I downloaded 400 .doc files, I opened 399 files in LibreOffice.

Only 1 could not be opened.

All 400 files were smaller than or equal to 692.5 KB. I started the testing from the smallest file to the largest file. It happened to be that I could not open that one file which was 692.5 KB.

I am not a Maths expert. 399/400 = 99.75%

Congratulations! This is excellent! Well done.

To make a rough conclusion, I claim in a reasonable way that LibreOffice can open 99.75% of the .doc files I may come across in future if these files are smaller than 700KB.

I do not know if these numbers are scientific enough. However, such information definitely helps me to say that LibreOffice 4 is really good!

If you think that such information is possibly reliable, feel free to share in the marketing materials, etc.

Neat!

Hmm. So close to a perfect score!

All 400 files were smaller than or equal to 692.5 KB. I started the testing from the smallest file to the largest file. It happened to be that I could not open that one file which was 692.5 KB.

C.H.D. -- Thank you for your testing. It's great for us to have some
quantitative testing from time to time! I must admit -- now I'm rather
curious about what's special about that last file!

Would it be possible for you to file a bug[1] and include that file as
an attachment? If there's anything sensitive in the file, you could
either redact it or I could give you the email address of one of our
senior QA folks so that the file wouldn't need to be made public.

Hi! I have actually submitted a bug report.

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60390

I am sure that the developers are looking into that.

Thanks.
