I like Mike's idea of using Jira and it would conform to our distributed model and get these issues the attention the deserve. 1) Add component "regression test failure" 2) Whoever is running/checking results will either 1) File a new issue for new failures. Put the name of the test in the summary. Include environment information, diff in the bug and put in component: "regression test failure". Any probable suspect submissions can be pointed out. 2) Add a comment to old issues that the test failed that day. This will get the attention of those who need to really look at the issue and provide clear tracking of when the issue first started, how often intermittent issues occur and when the issue is resolved. Also folks can run a quick query to see if their failure is a known issue. Kathey
