Triage, fix and verify a bug

Confirm a reported bug, mark it fixed and record the retest.

In short

A bug card goes from reported, to confirmed, to fixed, to verified. Each step is a button on the card, under "Needs attention", and is written to its History with your name. A verification can rest on a test run that passed after the fix.

Before you start

Steps

  1. Reported: the bug is created with triage state Pending and the details of the request or run it was reported from.
  2. Triage: open the card and, under "Needs attention", choose "Confirm bug". Not a bug? Choose "Reject", add why if you like, then "Reject bug" - or "Keep it" to go back.
  3. Fix: on a confirmed bug, choose "Mark fixed / ready for QA". It moves to a Testing column if the board has one, and records who fixed it.
  4. Verify: choose "I verified the fix" or "Retest failed". Pick the Verification evidence - a linked test run that ran after the fix and passed - or "Manual verification (no linked test run)", and fill in Build / commit and Environment.

Result: a pass moves the bug to Done and records who verified it. A failure sends it back to In Progress, clears the fix and adds one to the retest count.
