Re: Work on the Bug Reporting System (00/08/04)

Here is a sample of how this information could be used in the bug reporting system. Drop by http://www.nucleus.com/~zak/phpqat/idea.html and take a look at the table on the page. Instead of the current status system used in the bug reports, how about using something like it? The bug starts at 'reported' after a bug report submission. As the steps that are needed to evaluate the bug are taken, the bug hunter select the appropriate stage. A description of what each stage is would be used to help new bug hunters understand what to do. The form should help promote good bug closing technique. Also, evaluating the status of a bug should only require a glance.... Any thoughts? I feel that this may be too complex... however, I will continue on working on the system til at least I have some functional roughs for people to play with. At that point, we can more easily evaluate how useful or necessary each feature in the system is. Zak
