Bug Triage/Process/Triage

Who Triages

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

1. P2s become P1s after review
2. Hoist any P3s to P2's or P1
