Bug Triage Definition
- Bug Triage is a process to:
- Ensure bug report completeness
- Analyze and move bug to proper component if needed
- Set Assignee of bug report (via "Assigned to" field) to proper bug owner
- Assign bug to packages listed in "MeeGo Distribution Packages" product whenever possible (apply for new incoming bug reports for version 1.3 ONLY at this moment)
- Set appropriate bug priority
- Adjust bug severity properly (initially set by bug reporter)
- Resolve obvious invalid, duplication, won’t fix bugs etc.
- Forward bugs in upstream components to upstream bugtrackers and adding the upstream URL to the URL field of the report, if applicable
- Bug Triage Team
- A small team works on bug triage, could be experienced developer, distro engineer or QA
- Triage team members are expected to contribute significant time to bug triage
Please share your triaging knowledge by adding/editing MeeGo Bug Triage Stock Answers.
Bug Triage Process
- Triage new incoming bug reports timely by each triage team (from twice a week to daily triage).
- Triage team members in each triage team could have different focus, such as IA arch bugs, ARM bugs or specific applications etc.
- Each triage team meet on IRC weekly to discuss controversial bug reports and any open reports
- Bug assignees accept bug reports by setting target milestones for triaged bug reports
- Program Managers host bug report scrub meetings to discuss bug reports which do not have a target milestone set
Triage Process Flow as follows:
