+1 There is a similar situation with some JIRA systems that I work on. VERIFIED is a nice condition. My understanding is that RESOLVED means that there is a resolution, with FIXED meaning it has been applied, with VERIFIED needed to be satisfied that the issue can be closed. There is still the case of whether it is verified in the build of a release candidate, and that takes a little more to differentiate.

Sure, but the review (by someone else than the developer) would be the step from RESOLVED FIXED to VERIFIED. When Ariel fixes something, the issue status should change to something different than STARTED (i.e., to RESOLVED FIXED), otherwise there will be no way for QA volunteers to find the "RESOLVED FIXED" issues and verify that they have actually been fixed properly. At least this was my understanding of the VERIFIED status in Bugzilla. Regards, Andrea.
