Workflow
From Amahi Wiki
Our workflow is typically as follows, using the https://bugs.amahi.org
Status
Generally, the flow of the bugs' status is typically captured with this crude diagram:
New ==> [ Assigned <==> Feedback ] ==> Closed
- bugs start as New and no one assigned
- if at the time of creation or any time later you know who should take it, set it to Assigned and set the Assignee to the person who should work on it
- if some question arises or more info is needed, set the bug to Feedback and set the assignee to the person who should provide the feedback or answer the question
- the person answering should set the bug to Assigned and the assignee to the person working to fix the bug or implement the feature
- once the person working on it is done, it sets it to Feedback and assignee to the person who need to verify the issue
- if the issue verifies well, the person assigned sets it to Closed and it's all done
- if not, then the bug should be set to Assigned and the assignee to the person working on it
- if the issue is found to recur, the bug is opened by setting it to Assigned and the assignee to the person working on it
Priorities
- we list all bugs and features1 as the default priority (Normal)
- what we need to work on at any given time should be set to High (the list of issues can be sorted by priority easily, to see things better)
- what we should work on *next* should be set to Medium priority
- we work on what should be high/medium on weekly planning meetings or perhaps email, as needed
- once we get done with one item that is high priority, it gets set to closed
1 we do not have a strong enforcement of bugs/features, at least at the moment
