Bug Day June 25th, 2009

How to get help, how to get started, and schedule for Bugdays.

Bug days are conducted to reduce the number of UNCOnfirmed bugs in the bugzilla database, and to improve the quality of the bugs in the database.

Focus

Help shape Thunderbird 3. And help trunk testers who help us by reporting bugs.

component=General bugs - If you touch one, please change component to something better (even if it's just a guess). Especially critical and major bugs.

Swat, squash, pound, massage, improve unconfirmed trunk bugs:

• UNCO with blocking TB3 request These bugs needs to be verified for the Drivers to be able to tell if they block or not the next release of TB.

• trunk/Thunderbird 3 UNCOnfirmed, no activity in last 7 days (144 down from 160)

Other bugs that may interest you, from Bug queries or a variety from prior bugdays:

• UNCOnfirmed, recent bugs with no responses (29 steady from 29 bugs)
• UNCOnfirmed, major issues, no response ever (3 bugs, up from 2)
• IMAP UNCOnfirmed (140 bugs, up from 139)
• UNCOnfirmed component=:General (1) (281, down from 285)
  (1) Move bug from General to another component if possible, in addition to other triage action.
• address autocomplete UNCO or changed<2007-06-22 (6 bugs) - vs all autocomplete (5 down from 6 bugs)
• UNCOnfirmed, severity=minor bugs (75 down from 77 bugs)

• The following queries all exclude enhancements. They should trend to zero over time.
  • UNCO v0.9, v1.0, v1.5 (46 bugs)

Notes:

• Spreadsheet of bugday results is compiled and updated after each session / bugday.
• The letter Q stands for the query with all the appropriate criteria, which over time may differ from the results that have been logged.
• [1] Session and period time includes 30mins before and after the official time period, so as to include early and late/spill over activity.
• [2] A resolution change may be non-terminal, for example a bug may have been reopened.
