Adam noted he has been engaging the bugzapper team on this topic but they have expressed concerns as they feel ''they might not do it right.'' Will Woods acknowledged that expanding and clarifying release criteria (or having separate blockercriteria) might be a good idea. There are several resources available now: * [[QA/ReleaseCriteria]] - current release criteria list * [[User:Beland/Bugzilla_Legend#Severity_and_Priority]] - draft bugzilla severity and priority definitions Adam noted I guess if we adopted that system going forward, triage would naturally feed into blocker bug evaluation Jesse questioned whether ''exposing and actually trusting severity/priority in bugs is worthwhile ... Every person's pet bug is high priority high severity.'' Jesse asked what success would look like for a trial run? * no revert wars, positive feedback from maintainers looking at their bug lists * community participation in the escalation of blocker bugs Jesse offered concern that the first instinct of many people will be to think that QA will want to force what people will work on. * James suggested QA just provides data/guidance on the bugs. How the list acted on is a different topic. Adam summarized by noting he is working on a draft for developer feedback, this process is intended to advise developers (not dictate). If it works great, if it doesn't we'll kick it to the curb, and we can evaluate down the road how severity/priority and blocker lists are/should be interacting. Jesse suggested that ''Triage and setting of priority/severity can certainly help the maintainer make that decision, so long as they have the ultimate say''. Jesse also concluded that ''whatever helps us or maintainers find the critical issues sooner rather than later will help'' Jóhann added that this will never work. Adam encouraged optimism. = Open discussion = There wasn't enough time for open discussion in the meeting. Please send thoughts/ideas to fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxxx == fedora-qa-bookmarks package? == Cool idea proposed by wwoods - a Fedora QA bookmarks package (installable for test days, rawhide testers, live images etc...). Jesse Keating noted it's a challenge to have this co-exist with the fedora-bookmarks package. = Upcoming QA events = * 2009-04-16 - [[Test_Day:Presto_2009-04-16|yum-presto]] * 2009-04-21 - [[BugZappers/Triage_days]] * 2009-04-21 - [[Test_Day:2009-04-21|Minimal platform]] * 2009-04-23 - TAFS (Test A FileSystem) = Action items = * [jlaska] - announce live image create wiki update to fedora-test-list * [adamw] - discuss with mcepl and francois about radeon and intel F11Blocker bug status * [adamw] - post to fedora forums asking for feedback on pulseaudio issues * [jlaska] - schedule autoqa discussion w/ wwoods and jkeating - is there any work we can do prior to F-11 GA? * [adamw] - send a priority/severity definition draft to fedora-test-list for review before sending to developers/maintainers = Next QA meeting = The next meeting will be held on [http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingdetails.html?year=2009&month=4&day=22&hour=16&min=0&sec=0&p1=207&p2=204 2009-04-22 16:00 UTC]
