Bug Triage Process

The process of bug triaging consists of the following steps:

  1. Check if a bug was filed for a correct component (project). If not, either change the project or mark it as “Invalid”.
  2. Add appropriate tags. Even if the bug is not valid or is a duplicate of another one, it still may help bug submitters and corresponding sub-teams.
  3. Check if a similar bug was filed before. If so, mark it as a duplicate of the previous bug.
  4. Check if the bug description is consistent, e.g. it has enough information for developers to reproduce it. If it’s not consistent, ask submitter to provide more info and mark a bug as “Incomplete”.
  5. Depending on ease of reproduction (or if the issue can be spotted in the code), mark it as “Confirmed”.
  6. Assign the importance. Bugs that obviously break core and widely used functionality should get assigned as “High” or “Critical” importance. The same applies to bugs that were filed for gate failures.
  7. (Optional). Add comments explaining the issue and possible strategy of fixing/working around the bug.
