DRAFT IN PROGRESS
ACS releases can be huge with many features, improvements and issues. For successful release management proactive monitoring is needed to inspect and correct course.
A good release dashboard provide necessary widgets for release management. JIRA supports many widgets types each widget is linked to a filter (named queries).
Tip: By deafult filters are private, in order for others to access them, they need to be shared with project 'CLOUDSTACK'. Sharing a filter with others require a privilege that can be received by creating a ticket with Apache INFRA
Some of the recommended widgets are:
Widget |
Query |
---|---|
Bugs created in last 7 days by Priority |
|
Bugs resolved in last 7 days by Priority |
|
Bugs closed in last 7 days by Priority |
|
Bugs unresolved unassigned by Priority |
|
Bugs unresolved total by Priority |
|
Bugs unresolved unassigned by Components |
|
Bugs unresolved blocker critical by Components |
|
The best way to notify the assignees is by using the bulk edit option in JIRA and updating the comment with appropriate message. Weekly reminders as we get closer to release milestones also helps bringing attention and focus
