An issue itself if identified by a JIRA-generated identifier of the form ONOS-<number>. For example, the issue for creating this page in the wiki is ONOS-371, a major-priority story that is part of the Documentation epic and the current sprint.

Issue Lifecycle

Each issue is also associated with a status. The lifecycle of an issue is a series of changes to its Status field, as follows:

  • Open - issue is open and may or may not be assigned
  • In Progress - issue is open, is assigned to someone, and work is in progress
  • Resolved - the assigned person has declared that the issue has been addressed
  • Reopened - issue is not resolved and must be returned to the open status
  • Closed - everyone agrees the issue has been addressed and should no longer be considered

For example, the sample workflow for a bug is: 

  • Tester finds a bug, opens an issue - it is now in open status
  • Component owner or manager assigns the issue to a developer to re-create the bug and fix
  • Developer agrees it is a bug, sets the issue to 'in progress', and fixes it as they see fit
  • Developer moves the issue status to resolved and assignee to the tester who will validate the fix
    • Tester agrees it is resolved and moves issue to closed --or--
    • Tester disagrees it is resolved and moves issue to reopened, assigns it back to developer
