BUG- INFORMATION - STATUS

 BUG INFORMATION 

 

Some time we are searching for the bug but we are not consider the Status Part  for that Bug, it says the status for bug is valid or not.

 

OPEN basically means "Development is still working on it."

·         NEW means freshly reported

·         ASSIGNED means a developer is named and "on the hook" to make a fix

·         OPEN means that there is a branch checked out and work is being actively done on the bug

·         INFORMATION REQUIRED means that development is stalled until information can be collected from the bug reporter.

·         MORE means that some branches are fixed, but others are not yet fixed.  The fix is basically done, but being ported to other releases.

·         DUPLICATE means that this bug is reporting a behavior already described by an open bug (bugs in that state point to the "root" bug).

Rarer states

·         FORWARDED means it is in the process of being transferred to another project.

·         POSTPONED means that action is deferred until a future date (like a later release)

·         WAITING (I have never seen this state used)

·         SUBMITTED (I have never seen this state used)

·         HELD means that there is something blocking any further action from being taken. Rarely used.

FIXED means development is done working on it. 

·         RESOLVED means the bug is written and committed.

·         VERIFIED means that it has cleared testing.  Not all test groups use the bug database, so some bugs stop at RESOLVED.  That doesn't mean they aren't tested, only that the test group for that project does not updated the bug database.

TERMINATED means development will not work in it and no further action will be taken.

·         CLOSED means that Cisco acknowledges the observed behavior, but refuses to fix it.  This is usually the case for older software which is no longer maintained or very minor fixes that could cause more thouble than good.

·         JUNKED means that the behavior reported is the result of a misconfiguration or misunderstanding of the behavior in question, or else the bug is reporting an intentional design choice.

·         UNREPRODUCIBLE means that the bug, as reported, cannot be replicated and therefore cannot be fixed.  This may be a problem that arose from a hardware issue or a one-shot rare event that never happens again.

A typical bug flow looks like this:
