What we have is "Regression Test Failure" which might not be a product regression at all. It is used for tracking regression tests failures and often reflects a test problem. Usually product regressions are not Regression Test Failures, because there is no test that catches them An example might be: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1118* *ERROR XBCA0: Cannot create new object with key Page(644,Container(0, 928))in PageCache cache. The object already exists in the cache. I am not sure if this is a regression or not. Certainly it is not a regression test failure. Kathey
