In addition, the simple + * workflow and transition between statuses will be discussed. + * + * \section StatusDefinitions Issue Status Definitions + * + * \subsection New New + * The 'New' status is where all bugs start. This is an issue which has not + * received a review by a bug marshal to move it to an appropriate next + * status. Steps required to move to the next logical step include: + * + * \arg checking Category and Severity are set correctly + * \arg verifying the issue does not look like a support issue (if so, note + * the reporter should use the appropriate support channels, and change + * status to Closed) + * \arg determine that enough debugging information has been provided so that + * a developer can move the issue forward (e.g. on SIP issues, that the + * standard SIP debug and history, console output, and configuration + * file information has been provided, or in the case of a crash issue, + * that a proper backtrace has been provided) + * + * If the necessary information has not been collected, then the issue + * should be moved to Feedback status, and the missing information be + * requested by the reporter*. + * + * When all required information has been collected, the issue can be moved + * to the Acknowledged status. + * + * \note (*) issues which remain in the Feedback status for more than 2 weeks + * without feedback from the reporter should be marked as + * Closed/Suspended + * + * \subsection Acknowledged Acknowledged + * The 'Acknowledged' status is the first step to issue resolution. It is + * an issue that has been filed correctly, the categorization and severity + * have been set, and that initial debugging information has been + * collected. + * + * A developer may then review the issue tracker for Acknowledged issues + * and to determine whether additional information is necessary (i.e. that + * a crash issue with backtrace requires valgrind output, or other + * non-standard debugging feedback). + * + * Issues may be moved to the next step in the workflow when the developer + * has either determined the issue is Confirmed, requires additional + * Feedback, is an issue that has already been resolved (or does not need + * to be resolved), in which case it should be Closed. + * + * \subsection Confirmed Confirmed + * The 'Confirmed' status represents issues which have been verified as + * existing in the current branch(es), and has all necessary information to + * be accepted into Acknowledged status. The general qualifier for an issue + * being moved to Confirmed is more than one community member stating the + * issue exists. + * + * Confirmed issues may also contain patches created by developers which + * need to be applied in order to gain further knowledge or debugging by + * the original reporter, or any other community member who has verified + * this issue as existing. The developer will then move the issue to + * Feedback status while waiting for information from the reporter(s). + * + * Issues with patches that are candidates for inclusion into the various + * branches that should resolve the issue are to be moved to the + * Ready for Testing status. + * + * \subsection ReadyForTesting Ready for Testing + * 'Ready for Testing' indicates issues which have patches available for + * testing by community members or the original reporter which should + * resolve the reported issue. + * + * If the patch does not resolve the issue, then it should be placed back + * into Confirmed status until an additional patch can be created for + * testing. + * + * If the patch resolves the issue, then it should be moved to the Ready + * for Review status. + * + * \subsection ReadyForReview Ready for Review + * When an issue has a patch that has been tested by a community member and + * which resolves the originally reported issue, should then be moved to + * the Ready for Review status. Issues marked as Ready for Review should + * then either be reviewed by another developer prior to merging (if it is + * a non-invasive fix), or the patch should be placed on Reviewboard if it + * is a complicated or invasive fix. + * + * If an issue has a reviewboard link, it should be placed in the + * Additional Information section of an issue, and the marker [review] + * prefixed to the issue title. + * + * \subsection Resolved Resolved + * The Resolved status is rarely used directly by manual intervention, but + * rather is utilized by svnbot and other automated methods prior to an + * issue being closed. + * + * \subsection Feedback Feedback + * Feedback is used when an issue is awaiting information from the original + * reporter, or other active members of the community in the issue. Issues + * which remain in the feedback state longer than 2 weeks without feedback + * from any active participants, and which cannot be moved without, are to + * be Closed and marked as suspended. + * + * \subsection LicenseRequired License Required + * License Required is used when a patch has been attached to an issue, but + * which is currently in the License Pending state, or has been rejected + * and is awaiting the reporter to resign the license. + * + * \subsection Assigned Assigned + * Issues marked as Assigned are the responsibility of the assigned + * developer, typically because they contain some sort of special knowledge + * required to resolve the issue, or because they have decided to take + * responsibility for moving the issue to resolution. + * + * \subsection Closed Closed + * Issues which have a resolution are marked as Closed. There are several + * resolutions that a Closed issue can contain, such as Fixed, Won't Fix, + * Duplicate, or Suspended. Issues that have been Closed manually should + * have an appropriate resolution set such as Suspended or Won't Fix, along + * with a note indicating why the issue was Closed. + * + * If the issue is being closed due to a lack of feedback, the resolution + * should be Suspended, and a note indicating the issue was closed due to + * a lack of feedback, and that it will be reopened upon request if the + * reporter can provide the necessary information to move the issue forward + * again. + * + * <hr/> + * + * \section TypicalWorkflow Typical Workflow + * + * The typical workflow of an issue is as follows: + * + * \subsection Brief Brief + * + * New --> Feedback(*) --> Acknowledged --> Confirmed --> Ready for Testing + * --> Ready for Review --> Closed (commited, closed by svnbot) + * + * \note (*)Optional status used when not enough information provided to move to + * Acknowledged. + * + * \subsection Verbose Verbose + * + * - Issue is filed by a community member. All issues will start in the status New. + * + * - An issue marshal then performs triage on New issues and determined if they are + * valid issues (non-support), have been correctly categorized, have the + * necessary debugging information, etc... + * - Issues without the necessary information are moved to Feedback + * - Issues that are support, or feature requests without patches, are Closed + * - Issues that have all the necessary debugging information to move forward + * are Acknowledged + * . + * + * - After an issue has been moved to the Acknowledged state, then a developer will + * review to determine if the issue exists, and if so, to move it to the + * Confirmed state. If additional information is required, the issue may be moved + * to Feedback state. + * + * - An issue reaches the Confirmed state when the issue has been verified to + * exist. Issues that are Confirmed may also contain patches that provide + * additional debugging information. + * + * - Issues that have patches that require testing and feedback from the community + * are then placed in the Ready for Testing status. + * + * - Once a patch has been tested and confirmed to resolve the issue, we change the + * status to Ready for Review. + * + * - An issue that is Ready for Review needs to be looked over by a developer, or + * placed on Reviewboard (for larger patches) prior to being commited. Issues + * that are in Ready for Review are typically ready, or nearly ready to be + * commited. + * + * - Once an issue has been commited, svnbot will then Close the issue if the + * correct keywords are used in the commit message (see Guidelines for Commit + * Messages) + * . + * <hr/> + */ |
