Debugging

When we are developing a dashboard, we may face problems and we need to know where to look for solutions. Many of the problems we face when developing a dashboard can be identified using the developer tools in your browser.

I usually use Chrome, so the examples here are based on the developer tools of this browser. The version that was used while writing this was 46.0.2490.86 (64-bit). Anyhow, if you are using Firefox, you also have developer tools, or you can install Firebug, a developer tool that does not come installed by default. To be honest, I find the developer tools of Internet Explorer to be very poor, even if they are getting better in the latest versions of the browser. Anyhow, we must use them when we are debugging problems that only exist in this browser.

Do not forget to test your dashboard on all of the browsers.

Gaspar

Miguel Gaspar started working at Webdetails about 3 years ago, some time before the acquisition of Webdetails by Pentaho. He was a consultant in the Implementation team and his work involved developing dashboard solutions as part of services. He is now acting as the technical owner of some of the Implementations projects as part of the Webdetails team in Pentaho. He likes to be as professional as possible, but in an informal way. One of his favorite hobbies is learning and his particular areas of interest are: business analytics, predictive analysis and big data, augmented reality, and cloud computing. He likes to play and is a huge martial arts fan and also one of the worst soccer players ever. He is married and a parent of two young and lovely daughters, who would like to spend more time playing like crazies with him. He also likes to spend time with friends or just having a drink and a good talk with someone else, if possible with his family at his side. He really hates liars.
