Issue Type | Definition and when to use this type | ||
---|---|---|---|
Bug | A bug is generally a problem with code or data which is not functioning correctly. | ||
Improvement | An improvement is something that enhances the functionality of an existing feature | ||
New Feature | New functionality that does not already exist (What is the difference between this and Wish?)
The proposal seems inline with the existing text regarding creating JIRA This following text comes from our existing pages re Jira : If you don't have a patch, and you have want to suggest an enhancement or new feature, then discuss this in the dev mailing list instead of creating a Jira issue; at the end of the discussion, the community will consider if a summary of the thread should be saved in a new Jira issue, to facilitate future development | ||
Task | A Task is an action that needs to be carried out that does not fall under any of the other issue types. (NOTE: We have used Tasks in the past - maybe need to specify more clearly when to use....) | ||
Test | A Test is a unit test or integrated test | ||
Wish | A Wish is a requirement for new something that does not already exist (What's the difference between this and New Feature?

Sub Task | This task is a child of another JIRA:

...
- OFBiz has several versions of the code base available as released and unreleased branches, as well as the trunk and JIRA covers all of them.
- Blocking and Critical issues are generally reserved for problems with production systems (i.e systems that customers use).
- The OFBiz 'production systems' are our officially released versions that have been signed and approved for release and issues here are the highest priority.

Priority | Current JIRA Definition | Proposed Revised Definition and when to to use this priority | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
Blocker | Blocks development and/or testing work, production could not run | A blocking issue an issue with a released OFBiz version that does not run, causes the system to crash, is security vulnerability to users or exposes the project and Apache Software Foundation to significant risk | ||
Critical | Crashes,loss of data, severe memory leak | A critical issue is an issue with a released OFBiz version that causes the system to crash, become unstable, lose data and has no workaround. | ||
Major | Major loss of function | A major issue is an issue with a released OFBiz version that has a significant impact due to loss of function and has no or limited workarounds
| ||
Minor | Minor loss of function or problem where easy workaround is present | A minor issue is an issue with a released OFBiz version, an unreleased branch or trunk that has isolated impact but workarounds are available | ||
Trivial | Cosmetic problem like misspelt words or misaligned text | A trivial issue is an issue with a released OFBiz version, an unreleased branch or trunk that are cosmetic or do not change the functionality |

An issue can have more than one label and JIRA allows you to create new labels automatically if the one you need does not already exist. Please be careful that you are not using the label as an indicator for the OFBiz 'Component' as we already have a component field in JIRA to define the OFBiz component or application area.
PLEASE NOTE: That Also be aware that the JIRA labels are shared across all ASF JIRA projects so you will find labels related releated to other projects in the drop down selection box.)NOTE: We need to be careful that we are not using the label as an indicator for the Component as we already have a Component field to define the OFBiz component or application area.
