I have added component "Test" (as an a priori component) for those issues which had no other component when the "Regression Test Failure" was removed. But this started me thinking and I have a question on the recommended usage of the "Test" component. Normally, when we fix a Derby bug, we add a new test case to the regression tests. This means that a patch for an issue will touch both, say, the "Store" component and the "Test" component. I don't think we have had a clear practice on whether to mark such issues with the additional "Test" component or not. Since the focus of the issue would be the bug or modification in Derby itself, the "Test" component is often not given. Do we want to tighten this up and recommend to use the "Test" component in addition if the test code is at all modified by the patch? Or would it be better to reserve the "Test" component usage for cases where the focus is test or test infrastructure? Thanks, Dag
