Development management

Cycle tracking

• Match up with release cycles, no open ended development
• The idea is to pick enough bugs to fill a release cycle
• Limits the amount of work people have on their plate
• Each cycle has polish bugs mixed in in addition to normal bug work

Priority field as a classification

• p1 - serious bugs, show stoppers, release blockers
• p2 - general bugs, really want to fix, easy to reproduce
• p3 - corner case bugs, low occurrence, hard to reproduce, polish bugs, non-breaking
• p5 - future, fix optional, community, good first bug

Tracking Lists

Bugzilla Tracking flags

These flags have been mothballed (8/30/2017). Instead, "tpi:+" is assumed to be true when a bug is assigned a Priority. tpi:- will still be used to indicate a bug is not going to be tracked at all by platform integration.

• flag name: tracking-pi (or) tpi:x
• whiteboard tag: 'tpi:x'
  • flag values: ?, -, +, a (active)

tpi:+

• Widget, Widget:cocoa, Widget:Win32 and Widget:Gtk - https://mzl.la/2cNlegi
• all other components - https://mzl.la/2bxWFaL

tpi:?
