Hi All,
We intend to bring the following change in our gerrit based workflow:
- Introduce +2 and -2 for Verified in Gerrit
- +2 for Verified to be necessary for merging a patch
The intent of this proposed change is to get additional test coverage
and reduce the number of regressions that can sneak by. Jenkins would
continue to provide +1s for all submitted changes that pass basic
smoke tests. An additional +2 would be necessary from somebody who
tests the patch. Providing a +2 for Verified would be semantically
similar to adding a Tested-by: tag.
I have a basic doubt here.. How is +2 verified different than +1
verified, which is currently provided by either the author or someone
else or both. I assume that the Jenkins +1 verified is not the only
thing that is seen by the maintainer before merging the patch, he/she
should be looking at +1 verified from the author or someother person and
take the decision accordingly during merge.
thanx,
