Re: [Libreoffice-qa] Whiteboard Status'

2014-06-16 Thread bfoman
Hi!
Having saved queries against crash/dataloss/perf etc. items gives bugs on
your radar without the need of checking Major/Critical, Summary or comments.
It is easier to be alarmed and IMHO such Whiteboard items could be used
more. 
Also you can chart them against time in series.
Best regards.

Then my follow up question to dataloss is what do we want to consider
"dataloss" - is formatting loss sufficient? Let's say "justified center"
is lost - is that data loss? Or what about if conditional formatting is
lost?


Thanks for the feedback bfoman - always appreciated.


Best,
Joel

These are used when a complex test (like in sw/qa/complex/writer/) fails and
was temporary disabled and thus need investigation/fixing. unoapitest are the
same for the tests from qadevOOo.

We should keep those at least as long as we query them from the EasyHacks wiki
pages.

A prefix might make sense. "extension" is unfortunate though, better:
filter:odf or format:odf.

Seems Munich deployment related. We shouldnt mess with those unless they cause
trouble.

these two are very similar, maybe we could combine them as junittest?

yes this would actually be quite useful, it is very hard to tell from
bug subjects if there is a data-loss issue there, so you can't search
for it currently.

although actually i'd like to limit "dataloss" to ODF documents only,
where this really is not supposed to happen - if it's some other format
it's more like a missing feature
.
> experimentalEnabled   Is this useful?

a little... it lets us de-prioritize bugs that happen in features that
are known to be broken anyway.

> odf   Suggestion to change to “extension:ODF” – see previous email

this has nothing to do with extensions, but with file formats; in
particular ODF which is the default format and the one where we have to
care the most about interoperability issues with other office suites
(and also older versions of LO), so a short and sweet keyword is really
needed.

people have filed bugs about LO producing ODF documents that ODF
validators find objectionable.

i've got questions too:

> ConfirmedRegression

why do we need this, given that we have a "regression" keyword?  this is
a pointless alias... developers don't search for it, the ESC bug-stats
script doesn't know about it... fortunately currently only 2 bugs have it.

Hm - Bjoern seemed to like them separate. For now we'll keep separate
but I'll make a note of maybe combining.

Yes I said the wrong word - maybe filter:ODT, filter:DOCX, filter:RTF is
best.

Moving to not in use - agreed regression keyword is sufficient.

AFAIK the only reason we use 'regression' in the keyword field instead
of the whiteboard is that FDO happens to have 'regression' set as a
keyword. To simplify our learning curve for QA, we should make a push
for consistency.  (we can make a decision here after bugzilla
migration)

exactly, if we can finally add the keywords that we need then we can get
rid of a lot of whiteboard entries and have bugzilla detect typos
entered in the keywords field...
