The Bug Genie comes with a default workflow already set to use. In many cases though, this is not what a user wants so you will need to either make a copy of the Default workflow and edit this copy or create a blank workflow and build it from scratch.
The Default Workflow:
#Go to the Configure page for Workflow. #Change the title "Blank Workflow" to "New Workflow" and Click the "Add workflow" button. #Verify a workflow called "New Workflow" has been created. #Now lets edit the New Workflow by clicking on the show workflow details icon to the right. This should look like the image on the left. Notice that the Connected status and Outgoing transitions fields are empty.
The Default Workflow:
Step | Connected status | State | Outgoing transitions | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
New | New | Open and editable | Investigate issue -> Investigating Confirm issue -> Confirmed Reject issue -> Rejected Accept issue -> In progress Resolve issue -> Closed | This is the default, initial step all issues start in |
Investigating | Investigating | Open and editable | Request more information -> New Confirm issue -> Confirmed Reject issue -> Rejected Accept issue -> In progress | |
Confirmed | Confirmed | Open but not editable | Accept issue -> In progress Assign issue -> In progress Resolve issue -> Closed | |
In progress | Being worked on | Open but not editable | Reject issue -> Rejected Mark ready for testing -> Ready for testing Resolve issue -> Closed | |
Ready for testing | Ready for testing / QA | Open but not editable | Resolve issue -> Closed Test issue solution -> Testing | |
Testing | Testing / QA | Open but not editable | Accept issue solution -> Closed Reject issue solution -> In progress | |
Rejected | Not a bug | Closed and not editable | Reopen issue -> New | |
Closed | - | Closed and not editable | Reopen issue -> New | This workflow step is not linked directly to a status |
