== QA checklist for tracks on the cancer browser ==
 
* Tracks can have both Chromosomes and Genesets as display options, check both
** Occasionally tracks will work in one but not the other, but give no warning of this (or only a little tiny on on their details pages)
*  Speed. Does it take a long time for a dataset to load? Indicating there is no down-sampled data table, or data table is not indexed.
*  Is there data on every chromosome?  Any missing sections should be accounted for.
*  Do the colors look okay? Are there any visual issues with the track? 
*  Does the clickthrough to the Genome Browser worK?
*  Test mostly using heatmap, but remember to check Boxplot and Proportions modes as well
*  Clinical data: Features and Feature Settings:   
**How many features are on by default? Too many will cause feature names not to display
**Does sorting features work? Does sorting features properly sort the heatmap?
**Use features to sanity-check data. Does gender match with X/Y, that sort of thing
**View Feature info by using the blue button next to the Feature graph. Here, check for:
***Feature values: do they match what gets graphed? Do they make sense? Sometimes non-numerical values get made into a numerical scale, for example.
***Do the Feature short labels match up with their names?
***Are there repeated features, or features with meaningless info (ie gender in an Ovarian tumor dataset)
*** Stats function: Run one or two  statistical tests. Keep in mind that you have to designate subgroups in order for the function to work
* Data track documentation: it's bad. The details page should have some minor info, like wrangler, date, number of samples, and a list of features in no particularly useful order
