well, yes, this is another possibility. And its implementation is much
easier ;-)

It´s indeed much easier. We would just need to send one email to one person including the links to issuezilla.

If the issue is assigned to you, it means you were the QA for it, so in
fact it is the same, no? And as it is the same, using your method to get
the data is much easier :-)

Well, it is not quite the same as originally suggested. The difference is that not every task owner would get an email, just the QA Representative of the Childworkspace and that it would be done for each Childworkspace integrated instead of collecting information from every ChildWorkspace integrated as a new Milestone into the MasterWorkspace.

First question is wether it is better that only the QA Representative gets an email or wether each individual Task Owner would get his/her individual mail just about the issues owned. Deciding on this question is also a matter of deciding on workflow: Should the QA Rep. have the global overview about the process of rechecking and closing tasks after the Childworkspace has been integrated and delegate work to other QA members involved in the same Childworkspace or is that not needed and better if just everyone involved in QA for a Childworkspace gets a note with his/her own iusses thus automating the task of delegating QA work for this step.

Second question is if it´s better to have one mail per new Milestone or if it´s enough or even better to have one mail per Childworkspace. Technically it would be simpler to implement a mail per Childworkspace and I can also see a process workflow argument for doing it that way as the people doing QA might already have had individual unreleated test plans for each Childworkspace and working on one email would thus mean working on one subtask releated to one set of testplans. An argument against that would be that this would probably mean more emails. The technical reason for doing it per Childworkspace is that EIS currently only get´s notified about the state change of each Childworkspace but not notified when all Childworkspaces have been integrated and the milestone is ready.

The other thing suggested in this thread, that is automatically entering some kind of comment into the issue would be technically difficult to implement and would IMHO generate lots of unnecessary emails notifing everyone on issuezillas notifier list for each issue.


Kind regards,
Bernd
