Hi André,

Why need issues regarding automation no detailed description? To me as a volunteer (who is still somehow interested in automation) it is important to quickly find issues in Issue Tracker. Best mean for this is the summary.

With [automation] tag quicker to be found in the future ;-)

nonsense: component qa, subcomponent testscripts would give the same.

you could indeed write any information in the subject, so that it is "more easy" to find. I'd suggest
[qa][automation][all platforms][p3][confirmed] [developer on vacation]
maybe we can extend this, so that we have not much more than 2 characters for the real issue.

I think we don't need the log of the recent QA-Session as it is our daily job to handle these problems and I know hat you're talking about. If the description to reproduce an issue is not detailed enough even a well experienced QA member has problems to reproduce this. But we shouldn't mix the things:

No Helge - I do not mix things. What I like to say is, that it is very hard for people who do not work day-by-day with such problems to read and understand issues if the description is to short or imprecise. While the description is still ok for you - it is hard to step in for people who like to help. I hope, you like toher people to help with your work.

While working within the community you should always work on two things:
1st make your job (that's obvious)
2nd help other people to help you (makes more work for you at first hand, but will give a lot of helping hands).



At the moment I feel, automation team is going exactly the same route.

Recheck your feelings if you compare the 'quality' of issues to be submitted if they have to be reproduced manualy or with an automated script in hands.

e.g. - take this issue:
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=92593

I'd guess hardly anybody could verify if this has been implemented correctly, without requesting more information. (Well - I have an idea, what the issue is about, but I am not sure). Just an example - and I'd guess, you (or someone who did request the change) will verify and close the issue. But if the issue gets out of your scope (for whateever reason - busy with other tasks, leaving the project ..), hardly anybody else can close the issue.


To be clear about this: I don't think, this is a critical problem - but surely something that could be improved.

André
