To use the Issues Management module you need to have DevMateKit installed and issues configured.
The general statistics on issues is displayed on Issues Statistics report.
All the issues that are tracked with DevMate are divided onto:
- Crashes – the issues, that causes application to terminate its work
- Exceptions – the issues, that don't stop an application, but can cause to work improperly.
The issue reports on the similar issues are merged into one group which is called 'Crash' or 'Exception' depending on a type of issue. Issues are considered as similar if they have the identical stack trace of crashed thread.
Issues are grouped by status:
- New – just received issue reports
- In Progress – issues, that developers are working on currently
- Fixed – fixed issues
- Reopened – issues, that were fixed, but they occur again in the next versions of application
- Won't Fix – issues, that won't be fixed in the nearest time.
Statuses are set manually by DevMate users.
Issues Management page is organized in a convenient way to view quickly the information on an issue.
