Bugzilla Housecleaning Processes

Introduction

As discussed at the June 10, 2009 and June 17, 2009 PMC meetings, we will follow these Bugzilla housecleaning processes to ensure Bugzilla defects and enhancements reflect the current state of the project.

These Bugzilla housecleaning processes are intended to communicate a clear statement to the open-source community and our consuming products that TPTP is in maintenance mode and is only focusing on unresolved defects relative to our current resource levels. Our intent here is to solicit feedback via email and Bugzilla to determine those enhancements/defects of importance to the open-source community and our consuming products. In addition, we hope the open-source community will response with contributions/resources to address some of these enhancements/defects, similar to the outcome of the TPTP 4.5 Component Reorganization.

Bugzilla housecleaning steps will be completed at the end of each TPTP release in the order that they appear.

1) Enhancements

a) Hyades Unresolved Enhancements

All unresolved (UNCONFIRMED or NEW or ASSIGNED or REOPENED) Hyades (Tools Classification and Hyades Product) enhancements will be converted to TPTP (TPTP Classification) enhancements with a unspecified version, --- target and the associated Product and Component.

b) Unresolved Enhancements

All unresolved (UNCONFIRMED or NEW or ASSIGNED or REOPENED) and untargeted (--- or Future or future) enhancements will be resolved as WONTFIX with the housecleaned<xyz>¹ whiteboard tag, <x.y[.z]>¹ target, and the follow comment:

As of TPTP 4.6.0, TPTP is in maintenance mode and focusing on improving quality by resolving relevant defects and increasing test coverage through test creation, automation, Build Verification Tests (BVTs), and expanded run-time execution. As such, TPTP is not delivering enhancements. As part of the TPTP Bugzilla housecleaning process (see http://wiki.eclipse.org/Bugzilla_Housecleaning_Processes), this enhancement is resolved as WONTFIX. For this enhancement to be considered, please re-open with an attached patch including the Description Document (see http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/home/documents/process/development/description_documents.html), code (see http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/home/documents/resources/TPTPDevGuide.htm), and test cases (see http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/home/documents/process/TPTP_Testing_Strategy.html).

Note: Reopened enhancements should be triaged by the Project Lead and targeted to the current or upcoming TPTP release so the enhancement is not housecleaned at the end of the current TPTP release. In addition, the housecleaned<xyz>¹ and closed<xyz>¹whiteboard tags should be removed.

Housecleaned Enhancements

Unresolved enhancements that have been housecleaned in the following releases:

• TPTP 4.6.0

2) Defects

a) Hyades Unresolved Defects

All unresolved (UNCONFIRMED or NEW or ASSIGNED or REOPENED) Hyades (Tools Classification and Hyades Product) defects will be converted to TPTP (TPTP Classification) defects with a unspecified version, --- target, and the associated Product and Component.

b) Newer Unresolved Defects

For all unresolved (UNCONFIRMED or NEW or ASSIGNED or REOPENED) and untargeted (--- or Future or future) defects opened less than 2 years before the General Availability (GA) date of the current TPTP release (for example, opened between June 24, 2007 - June 24, 2009 for TPTP 4.6), the following reminder email will be sent by the Project Lead to the originator of the defect:

As of TPTP 4.6.0, TPTP is in maintenance mode and focusing on improving quality by resolving relevant defects and increasing test coverage through test creation, automation, Build Verification Tests (BVTs), and expanded run-time execution. As part of the TPTP Bugzilla housecleaning process (see http://wiki.eclipse.org/Bugzilla_Housecleaning_Processes), please comment in the Bugzilla if the following defect(s) are still relevant and reproducible in the latest TPTP release (http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/home/downloads/):

<defect list>

If the originator of the defect has an inactive Bugzilla account (for example, inactive email address), the defect is triaged by the Project Lead and if no longer relevant, resolved as WONTFIX with the housecleaned<xyz>¹ whiteboard tag, <x.y[.z]>¹ target, and the follow comment:

As of TPTP 4.6.0, TPTP is in maintenance mode and focusing on improving quality by resolving relevant defects and increasing test coverage through test creation, automation, Build Verification Tests (BVTs), and expanded run-time execution. As part of the TPTP Bugzilla housecleaning process (see http://wiki.eclipse.org/Bugzilla_Housecleaning_Processes), this defect is resolved as WONTFIX by the Project Lead since the originator of this defect has an inactive Bugzilla account and it may be no longer relevant. If this defect is still relevant and reproducible in the latest TPTP release (http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/home/downloads/), please re-open.

Note: Reopened defects should be triaged by the Project Lead and targeted to the current or upcoming TPTP release so the defect is not housecleaned at the end of the current TPTP release. In addition, the housecleaned<xyz>¹ and closed<xyz>¹whiteboard tags should be removed.

c) Older Unresolved Defects

All unresolved (UNCONFIRMED or NEW or ASSIGNED or REOPENED) and untargeted (--- or Future or future) defects opened more than 2 years before the General Availability (GA) date of the current TPTP release (for example, opened on or before June 23, 2007 for TPTP 4.6, released on June 24, 2009) will be resolved (note, all defects must be triaged by the Project Lead before resolving as WONTFIX to determine if any should be added to the defect plan for the next TPTP release) as WONTFIX with the housecleaned<xyz>¹ whiteboard tag, <x.y[.z]>¹ target, and the follow comment:

As of TPTP 4.6.0, TPTP is in maintenance mode and focusing on improving quality by resolving relevant defects and increasing test coverage through test creation, automation, Build Verification Tests (BVTs), and expanded run-time execution. Since this defect is more than 2 years old, it may be no longer relevant. As part of the TPTP Bugzilla housecleaning process (see http://wiki.eclipse.org/Bugzilla_Housecleaning_Processes), this defect is resolved as WONTFIX. If this defect is still relevant and reproducible in the latest TPTP release (http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/home/downloads/), please re-open.

Note: Reopened defects should be triaged by the Project Lead and targeted to the current or upcoming TPTP release so the defect is not housecleaned at the end of the current TPTP release. In addition, the housecleaned<xyz>¹ and closed<xyz>¹whiteboard tags should be removed.

3) Enhancements and Defects

a) Hyades Resolved/Unverified Enhancements/Defects

All resolved (RESOLVED or VERIFIED) and unverified (RESOLVED) Hyades (Tools Classification and Hyades Product) enhancements/defects will be verified/closed with the closed<xyz>¹ whiteboard tag and the follow comment:

As of TPTP 4.6.0, TPTP is in maintenance mode and focusing on improving quality by resolving relevant enhancements/defects and increasing test coverage through test creation, automation, Build Verification Tests (BVTs), and expanded run-time execution. As part of the TPTP Bugzilla housecleaning process (see http://wiki.eclipse.org/Bugzilla_Housecleaning_Processes), this enhancement/defect is verified/closed by the Project Lead since this enhancement/defect has been resolved and unverified for more than 1 year and considered to be fixed. If this enhancement/defect is still unresolved and reproducible in the latest TPTP release (http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/home/downloads/), please re-open.
