Bug Triage/Process/Triage
Who Triages
See list of triage leads.
What Do You Triage
All open, confirmed bugs in a component without a priority set or pending needinfo flage since 1 July 2016.
Softvision and volunteers will work on unconfirmed bugs, and set priority to '--' when they land in NEW.
How Do You Triage
Find bugs un-triaged bugs in your component.
We're building a web tool to help you do this.
For each bug decide priority:
- P1
- Fix in the current release or iteration
- P2
- Fix in the next release or iteration
- P3
- Backlog
- P5
- Will not fix, but will accept a patch
How Do I Handle Edge Cases
I Don't Have Enough Information
Needinfo someone who can answer your question and finish triaging when they reply.
This doesn't fit into a P1, P2, P3 framework
Mark it as a P3. If it's a tracking bug, make sure it's marked as [meta].
I don't think we should work on it at any time
If you'll accept a patch, mark it as P5, otherwise, close it as WONTFIX
Follow Ups
Watch open needinfos
Don't let open needinfos linger for more than two weeks. Close minor bugs with unresponded needinfos. Chase down other needinfo requestees.
End of Iteration
- P2s become P1s after review
- Hoist any P3s to P2's or P1
