QA/Community/Bug Day/Archive

Topic of the Day

• The Search of the Dupme/DUPEME! - Tue. 3/13
  • Help us clean up Bugzilla by finding newer bugs that might be dups of other older bugs.
  • Searching for "dupme" in the status whiteboard will often reveal a lot of bugs that people think might be dups.
  • You can also use the todays Bugquerys:
    • http://tinyurl.com/2h322u for Bugs with Dupme/Dupeme Status changed within 8 months
    • http://tinyurl.com/yutqjf for Bugs with Dupme/Dupeme Status last change within 12 months
    • http://tinyurl.com/2ccjoj for all Bugs with Dupme/Dupeme Status (longer list)
  • Before marking any bug a duplicate, please investigate both bugs thoroughly and find a second person to confirm!
  • To prepare, you can check out:
    • http://www.mozilla.org/quality/help/beginning-duplicate-finding.html
    • http://www.mozilla.org/quality/help/screening-duplicates.html
  • Identifying and marking duplicate bugs helps the Mozilla community focus on the real issues by removing the noise that comes with multiple bugs about the same problems.
