Random bug day

Posted on November 28, 2009 by Shane

I just had an idea, how about everyone take a day (doesnt have to be any particular day) and check on the bugs you reported. I had a look today and found a load of bugs had been fixed but left open so I marked about 5-10 bugs as invalid. If we all checked id say we could close a lot of small bugs.
So everyone take some time for a random bug day to check up on your own bugs. It helps triagers, developers and the human race because having too many unchecked bugs will mean they will take over the world, so get squashing. We all can help if we just take an hour to clean up.

    If you find a bug that has been fixed, shouldn’t you mark it as Fix Committed or Fix Released instead of Invalid? This is a good idea, I’ll try it.

      Well fix commited means that someone has commited a fix to a branch in a version control system. Fix released means that fix pushed to the branch was released. Invalid means that the bug isnt a problem anymore. So I like to mark bugs as invalid unless a developer looked at it and fixed it.
      Have fun cleaning up :)
