WaiverProcess
NetBeans 8.1 Bug Waiver Process
- Bugzilla Keywords for NetBeans 8.1
Purpose
High-priority bugs are subject to the release quality criteria. All exceptions must be waived by this process.
Process
An engineer responsible for the waived bug is supposed to request a waiver :
- Add appropriate justification for the waiver in the issue comment in Bugzilla
- Mark the issue with the 8.1_WAIVER_REQUEST keyword
- Wait for explicit approval from NetBeans QE team who will approve the waiver by changing the keyword to 8.1_WAIVER_APPROVED.
- If there are questions/objections, answer/resolve them as appropriate
- Work with Docs on documenting the waived bug in the release notes (if appropriate)
- If scheduling is an issue to address issue in current release, it should be addressed in a Patch. If so, mark the issue with status-whiteboard 81patch-candidate value.
Don't
Waiver will be not approved for issue that was already waived in 3 previous releases.
