PHP/QA Update

Hello All, I thought that I should update everyone on what has been happening recently with the QA effort. So far the bug cleaning work seems to be going well. The bug packs are getting finished quickly. The developers also seem to be actively working on closing many bug reports. We started with about 670 open bugs and have cut that number down by about one-third. Not bad for only having started 4 days ago! Here are the actual numbers. PHP 4 Bugs * ----------------

* All of the bugs - except for submissions received after the July 22 and bug packages 6, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18 & 19 - have been summarily reviewed. We should be able to close another 30 or 40 bug reports after these packs have been reviewed. ** 25 new open bug reports accumulated between the 22nd and today waldschrott has been churning through the bug reports at quite a steady pace. Joey has been working hard on a series of persistant problems (like browser-caps - blech!) I have been trying to clear out as many simple or spurious bug reports as possible - I have mostly stayed away from any compilation, installation and ISAPI problems. Regarding the status of the bug packs: I am sure that waldschrott will have his remaining bug packs (16-19) finished in short order. jalal and Derick - do you have enough time to work on this right now - if not, then would you like someone to take them off of your hands? Once we have all of the bug packs reviewed, I propose that we go through the remaining bugs and do the following things: Remove or update old feedback status bugs Find all duplicate bugs Group remaining bugs into packages based on the type of bug. Try to validate the bug. Try to find core developers who can work on the fixes. Any comments, suggestions, criticism, etc... ? - Zak Zak Greant Creative Director Nucleus Information Service Inc.
