[Organization | Getting Started | Reporting Issues | Working Issues | Watching Issues]
Welcome to issue tracking in GLAST. We have adoped the JIRA ("jeera") issue/bug tracking tool. Our intent is to use this to track not only bugs but to follow up on improvements and issues in our code system. Here are the initial thoughts on what we wanted from such a system.
Access to the tool is via
As of this writing, the JIRA czars are Johann Cohen-Tanugi and Matt Langston. Johann will oversee that bugs and issues are, in fact, followed up.
We separate out the topics into categories, projects and components. The categories cover Sim/Recon, ScienceTools, Infrastructure and Resources. Inside of these are the various projects that comprise the big pieces.
There will be more instructions and tips as we learn the system.
Get an account
Go to http://jira.slac.stanford.edu and get an account. Use the same account name as your SLAC account, but set a password you don't use elsewhere; for the moment we do not have the password encrypted. Send mail to Johann and Matt asking them to make you a GLAST groupie. This will allow you to browse everything.
Once you get in, here is what the "dashboard" looks like.
you see a list of categories with their subtopics on the left (the list goes on past the bottom of this screen capture) and your customizations on the right.
In this case, I have added two custom filters to show me all "open" and "resolved" issues, so I can see what is pending and what got done. You can create your own filters by clicking on the Filters link in the upper right of the page. This allows you to manage your filters and then add new ones.
Note that there are search tools to see if the bug you are reporting has already been input to the system.
| and you should get email that you resolved it, as does the submitter of the bug. |
Three tiers of notification have been created for each Category: users, developers and admins. They will be sent emails for the following
- Project lead and admins get notified of all traffic
- Users get notified when there is a new issue created, and when it is resolved, as well as commented
- developers receive all traffic but for the specific admin tasks: issue updated (this is just about modifying the status of the issue), issue closed or deleted.
Johann has assigned membership in these groups; if you want a change, ask him.
You can also activate a "watch" on a given topic if it is of interest to you. Click the "Watch It" link in the bottom left corner of the issue's details page.
