Project Name
Bug Triage Extension
Project Description
Mike Beltzner suggested this one after his talk. The idea is to make it trivial for testers to follow-through a bug's Steps To Reproduce (STR) so as to confirm it. A tester should be able to use this Extension to ask for a bug (i.e., one would be picked for him/her--no querying) and then a sidebar or similar would appear showing the steps to follow. Under that would need to be a way (e.g., buttons) to say that the bug is confirmed or not. Ideally the QA team could prioritize bugs so they appear in this list automatically, making it easier for testers to get the "right" bugs quickly.

Project News
- first try at creating a FF extension
- emailed beltzner
- Spoke to robcee and jay on irc, and they are both interested in following this and helping out. Jay is going to be away until Oct 16. Contact him then. (dave)
- Research time: lots of IRC talk, web searching, and such. Mostly XPCOM stuff and ways to handle the database connectivity, also a bit of java but I've put that idea aside. Looking for an existing XPCOM componet that can handle this.
- New good link added: http://www.allpeers.com/blog/creating-complex-firefox-extensions
- possiable answer to database connection stuff: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/mozilla/2002/12/17/app_dev.html?page=last
- working on installing SQL functionality:
- rethink...
- talked to Dave Humphrey and Reed got some new ideas
- back on track, bugzilla offers a webservice interface... but the api for it is still in the works.
- learning how to connect to webservice through extension
- away from October 14th-19th,2006
- no much on the XMLRPC webservice api for bugzilla 2.23.3 but more is being added all the time. http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/tip/html/api/index.html
- because of the web services delays I have decide I can't wait any longer and am going to do what I can now. This is try two at extension development. I've decided to post whatever I have at the end of every work session, this was only about an hour and a half while eating dinner but its a step in the right direction try two*press shift+ctrl+b
