Quality Report: Historical Severity
| Purpose |
- This shows how many issues were open over time, based on their Severity.
- Unlike Rolling Totals, which shows counts by state, independent of severity,
this is only concerned with non-closed issues, regardless of state.
- Rolling Totals might show a still-growing number of issues.
This would show whether most of those issues are significant or not.
|
| Benefits |
- If issues are way disproportionate in the Severity 1 compared to other severities, then the QA manager might question the level of unit-testing that developers are doing prior to check-in and builds.
- This lets the Development Manager know that unit-tests are being skipped.
|
| Drawbacks |
- State is not visible... it's not clear whose queue the issues are in.
- Only valid for one project at a time
