Go back to doing BFDs for 14.x

Development

Hi devs,

During 13.x we said that we would stop BFD and instead do one week out of 2 of bug fixing for stabilizing it. However it seems that was too ambitious and as a result we’re loosing even more the battle against bugs.

See Loading...

Some details:

  • Real bugs reported
    • 2018: 119
    • 2019: 107
    • 2020: 230
    • 2021: 306
  • Real bugs fixed
    • 2018: 479
    • 2019: 407
    • 2020: 486
    • 2021: 309
  • Ratio reported/closed:
    • 2018: 402%
    • 2019: 380%
    • 2020: 211%
    • 2021: 100%

This seems like we’re clearly going in the wrong direction on the ratio bugs closed vs new bugs reported, and 2021 was a bad year.

At the date of today:

  • We’re loosing by 593 bugs over 1600 days. Reminder: we used to be at 0 over this period at some point.
  • -277 over 500 days
  • -202 over 365 days
  • -38 over 120 days

I propose that we set as our 2022 challenge, the “reasonable” goal of going back to 0 over 365 days

If we extrapolate from the 2021 figures, this means roughly closing 4 more bugs every week. It seems like the weekly BFD could achieve this.

WDYT?

Thanks

I’m just curious: did it work?

You can see the evolution at Loading... and that recently we’ve started to win again (ie more bugs closed than bugs opened). Especially we’re winning on the last 500 days, and still loosing on the last 1600 days.

Note: XWiki 14.x was in 2022
