does anybody know which is the difference between milestones and
versions? Initially I thought a milestone was composed by many
versions...it is not very clear.
Is there anybody who can help me?
I don't know if this is the *official* distinction, but we use
milestones and versions in the following way.
- A milestone is created for each future version of the software we
intend to release. This includes bug fix releases as well as major
planned versions.
- When a bug is found and a ticket is created, we set the version
field to the version of our product in which the bug was discovered.
This is later updated if the bug was found to have been introduced in
an earlier version.
- If a ticket is created for an enhancement or task (i.e. anything
other than a bug) then the version field is left empty.
- Periodically I set the milestones of all tickets to be the version
(s) in which we expect the bugs to be fixed or features to be
introduced.
- When we tag a new release the milestone is marked as completed and
we then add the version of the new release to the version list in
Trac (so that bugs can be filed against that version). A new
milestone is then created for the next release in that branch.
Hope this helps!
