QA Reporting Lexicon (new)

I would like to suggest adopting a standard lexicon of QA terms to be used in jiras and when report results. The following are suggested terminology and definitions:

  • QA SUMMARY - summary of testing plan, OS tested, instance tested on, browser, etc.
  • QA RESULTS - detailed results on the testing
  • QA UFO - Unexpected Functional Oddity: strange anomalies that are not bugs, but perhaps should be addressed or investigated
  • QA VERIFIED - Issues is verified and passes QA, comments
  • QA UNVERIFIED --could not verify because it is not testable or failed QA, comments

Example (verifying a bug fix)

QA SUMMARY

QA RESULTS

QA VERIFIED
