Hi all, Thanks for the great QA Meeting on Wednesday! Minutes are here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Meetings/2015/April_22
Our next meeting will be on May 6th: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Meetings/2015/May_06 We've been facing a tough challenge staying below 300 UNCONFIRMED bugs, with our count currently back up at 324. By our Bug Hunting Session for 5.0 in May, I hope that we can bring that number down to 250 (and not have it increase back to 300+) Here are a few tips to help us get some traction in this space: 1) Make sure the summary is accurate If the summary is vague, please clarify it. Or ask the reporter to do so (and put the bug in NEEDINFO) 2) Use NEEDINFO whenever you need info from the reporter If something about the bug isn't clear, if you need a document for testing, or if you need repro steps from the bug reporter, please leave a note and put the bug in NEEDINFO status. We've added an automatic message that lets the bug reporter know that they should change the status back to UNCONFIRMED after they reply and/or provide the requested info or materials. 3) Add repro needs to the Whiteboard If the bug requires Windows 7 and you don't have it, please put 'needsWin7' in the Whiteboard. If the bug requires a WebDAV server for testing, put 'needsWebDAV' in the Whiteboard. Appropriate tagging of UNCONFIRMED bugs will help the rest of QA narrow-in on those particular bugs that require certain repro environments, and let us complete triage more quickly and more efficiently. 4) Use [hard to reproduce] in the Summary if testing with the same setup If you test a bug using the same software and OS versions as the bug reporter (e.g. LO 4.3.2 + Win7) and can't reproduce the problem, feel free to add "[hard to reproduce]" at the end of the Summary. This tag provides a visual clue to the rest of QA that this bug is unlikely to be easily reproduced, and that unless they're looking for a big challenge, they should spend time triaging other bugs.
