Re: [mdt-papyrus.dev] closing old bugs

Hi,

When I run bugzilla reports, I lump all resolved, verified, and closed bugs together as logically “completed” because (correct me if I’m wrong) Papyrus doesn’t have a formal QA process in which a QA team tests resolved bugs to move them into verified state (or reopen them [1]), after which the original reporter can close them if in agreement with the verification results.

Some projects in the Eclipse Modeling family actually use the verified state to indicate that fixes for bugs that were in the resolved state have actually been published to the update site. This transition was at one time automated by the builds.

So, I guess my question is what precisely do we think would be the value (for Papyrus) of following bugs through a process beyond the resolved state? What meaning do we want to assign to verified (if any) and closed states to distinguish them from resolved? And who is responsible for transitions through these states?

Cheers,

Christian


[1]: Note that the very transition from resolved -> reopened implies a “closedness” of the resolved state.

Dear all,

 

In order to respect the bugzilla eclipse convention and to have eventually a more clear vision of bugs for next version of  Papyrus, it could be good to close fixed bugs.

At least for old ones.

It is a proposition.

 

Here a sample query to find some of them [2]

Normally empowered users, should be able to have a link “Change several bugs at once”, so it could be good to switch them from FIXED to CLOSED

 

Does any empowered user have a look to it?

 

Thanks

 

Francois

 

 

[1]: Change several bugs at once: If your account is sufficiently empowered, and more than one bug appear in the bug list, this link is displayed which lets you make the same change to all the bugs in the list - for example, changing their assignee.
