Hi!
I am writing here in function as the OOo CWS Gatekeeper to get the
existing policies and rules more known from the people who have to use
them. Only a known policy, rule is good for a well working process.
Under [1] you can read "new Features and Bug-fixes should integrate
without Regressions and the quality should be always able to release."
There is a special case if a bug fix in a child workspace (CWS) results
into a visible bug which was hided in the MASTER workspace (MWS). The
developer may be will say that he hasn't introduced this issue because
it is also (hided/masked) in the MWS. It's not his job to fix it. Okay,
but it's the QA Representative's job not to approve such a CWS without
fixing a _known_ additional and visible issue. Defect masking [2] is a
special case but we have to wait for the fix in that CWS otherwise we
would increase the numbers of issues in the MWS.
So, the sentence under [1] also means (as I understand it):
Approve CWS without regressions also if the defect was masked in the MWS.
If you have concerns, suggestions, questions, etc. feel free to discuss
it here and be sure that your words will be read but think about that: I
haven't made the most policies, I have to control that an approved CWS
follow the policies. If you find issues in these policies write them the
owner/author of the documents, not me. Thank you!
Cu,
Jogi
