Details
Currently, we've the keyword "regression" to say that a bug is a regression.
But we've no way to know that a bug is not a regression.
So the idea is to have a new field "is_regression" with 4 possible values:
- "Yes": this is a regression
- "No": this isn't a regression
- "Unknown": the dev doesn't know if it's a regression but thought about it
- "---": the default value

Observations and Questions
-
Looking at bug history was a way to see if a bug is a regression, but that was not a "at a glance" piece of information, so this is an improvement
-
Adding a flag type for this is straightforward, but because of the way that Bugzilla displays flags, this would not be displayed alongside the regresses and regressed-by fields, so we need to update UI to make this more usable.
-
Current bug handling documentation documentation changes would need to be amended for this
-
Do we make this change along with the changes we're making to add regresses/regressed-by?
-
We'd need to work with manager's regression triage to make sure they use the new workflow
- But at least the Wednesday regression triage would be the right place to socialize the change
-
Values for this field would be
+
: yes is a regression, andregressed-by
should be non-empty, and the committer needinfo'ed to fix-
: no, is not at regression, andregressed-by
should be empty?
: requesting confirmation that this is a regression, this would replace theregressionwindow-wanted
field---
: not a regression or considered a regression at this time
-
We'd also need to map existing data

regression
keyword was added and removed to know when to mark the bug as-
- Bugs for which the
regression
keyword was added and the regressor found would be marked as+

keyword and either no regressors listed or theregressionwindow-wanted
is present, would be marked as?

Before creating dependencies, I'd like some feedback on these questions and comments.

I think this would be ideal, as they are related changes.

I wouldn't mix the 'Is Regression' and 'Regression Window Wanted' information. If a bug is a regression, it is a regression no matter if we know the regression window or not.
'Is Regression' == 'yes' would only mean that the bug is a regression. The regressed-by could be empty because there are many cases where getting a regression window is not easy / not worth it. The type of the bug should be 'defect'.
'Is Regression' == 'no' would mean that the defect is not a regression, and regressed-by must be empty.
'Is Regression' == 'unknown' would mean that the defect is aknowledged, somebody triaged it, but it isn't known whether it is a regression or not.
'Is Regression' == '---' is the default value, nobody took the time to check the defect to tell whether it is a regression or not.

I would only map existing data when we are absolutely sure, to avoid introducing noise.
So, I'd only set 'Is Regression' == 'yes' for bugs which have the 'regression' keyword.

Sound like a great summary.
We should do it but no need to block the regressed-by new field with that.

Okay, state of play on this is:
regression
keyword goes away, replaced by the is-regression
status flag with the values:
yes
- would only mean that the bug is a regression. The regressed-by could be empty because there are many cases where getting a regression window is not easy / not worth it. The type of the bug should be 'defect'no
would mean that the defect is not a regression, and regressed-by must be emptyunknown
would mean that the defect is acknowledged, somebody triaged it, but it isn't known whether it is a regression or not---
is the default value, nobody took the time to check the defect to tell whether it is a regression or not
The regressionwindow-wanted
ought to migrate to a flag as well:
yes
- yes, a regression window is needed, should be set onceis regression
isyes
or if investigation is neededfound
- yes, a regression window has been found---
- default, nobody has investigated if a window is needed or if the bug is a regression

It's not super clear to me what the difference between regression:unknown and regression:--- is. There's a verified defect (otherwise the bug would be invalid), but we don't know if it's a regression. I would guess triagers aren't going to take the time to change from --- to unknown for each bug, if they mean basically the same thing.
I wonder if we can also solve the following type of problem with this flag:
- we have a real regression, but it's been shipping for multiple, multiple releases
At this point, the regression should probably just be treated as a regular bug, meaning we don't need to triage it as part of regression triage. In the past we've removed the regression keyword to get it off our queries, but Lizz made a good point that it skews reality for people trying to do research, etc. Instead we've agreed to just set a regression to fix-optional across the board so it disappears.
If we had a flag value to reflect whatever this state is, we could flip it to that and make the bug disappear from regression triage. But I have no useful suggestions on names.
What about?

The main goal here was to have a way to say "this is a defect, but it isn't easy to tell whether it is a regression". That is, from the current state of the bug, we can't say if it is a regression or not. "---" instead is the "empty" value, which means nobody thought about checking whether the defect is a regression or not. Maybe it is and the reporter even said it, but nobody set the field.
I see your point though, maybe people won't really use it. We could add it, and then remove it in the future if it proves to be unused.

Wouldn't the field become too complex to use if we add too many alternative values, mixing the description of the bug with prioritization/release decisions?

Great summary. Thanks Emma!
I have some doubts about known.
I am concerned that the difference between yes and known is going to be too subtle. With just this value, I won't know what is the difference.
Maybe we should be more explicit with something like
old (existing for several years)

Point of information:
Using a regression for which we have known about for at least three releases to mean status_firefoxNN
, status-firefoxNN-1
, status-firefoxNN-2
is equal to affected
or wontfix
, we get ~45 bugs (https://mzl.la/2TW51d2).

I would prefer 1, as it would reduce the number of different info we are mixing in 'Is Regression'. We are already mixing something related to the description of the bug ("is it a regression") with prioritization info ("is it a regression we care about?"), so I wouldn't also add the regression range info in there.
Also, if we go with 2, we'd need many combinations ("new regression, regression range known", "old regression, regression range known", "new regression, regression range wanted", "old regression, regression range wanted", and so on).

Can we get a summary of the changes before implementation starts? It's not clear what path has been chosen for some of the cases and knowing the whole picture (with how the flags could interact/conflict) is useful.

Proposed Change
Remove regression
keyword, and replace with is_regression
status flag with values:
yes
- yes, bug is a regression- check the values of:
has_regression_range
(see below) andregressed_by
to see if the cause of the regression has been identified
- check the values of:
no
- no, bug is not a regression---
- default status, bug either has not been checked, or is not a regression
Remove regressionrange-wanted
keyword, use the existing has_regression_range
status flag.
That field has the values
---
- defaultyes
- yes, a regression range has been found- check the value of
regressed_by
- check the value of
no
- no, a regression range needs to be foundirrelevant
- bug is a regression, but the changeset which introduced it does not need to be found

Comment 17•6 years ago

Just a couple of observations on the migration:
-
I wouldn't do anything yet with blocked_by/regressed_by, as we can't be sure that blocked_by was used to note a regression. I think it's better to have some missing information than wrong information, or we risk tools making wrong assumptions. We can work on migrating some old blocked_by to regressed_by separately, if we manage to find rules that are 100% valid.
-
If 'has_regression_range' is 'yes' but 'blocked_by' and 'regressed_by' are empty, I wouldn't change 'has_regression_range' to 'no'. I think human review is required here as I'm afraid of overwriting human changes, so I would avoid this but add a autonag check (https://github.com/mozilla/relman-auto-nag/issues/546).
-
Less important: some people use "regressionrange-wanted" even when it is not clear yet if the bug is a regression, just as a way of asking the reporter to check if it is a regression. So, we can't be 100% sure that 'regressionwindow-wanted' implies 'is regression'. This is less important though, as in my experience this case is pretty rare.

I have read the comments in the past few days plus Emma’s doc, but it seems the UX complexity and data inconsistency/redundancy won’t be solved with the current proposal. Given that we have added Regressed by field, the situation will rather be worse. As proposed earlier, having 1 flag should be enough.
Proposed change
Is Regression flag

: replacesregressionwindow-wanted
keywordrange-irrelevant
yes
: replacesregression
keywordno
: we don’t have this now
(Don’t add Has Regression Range flag)

- When a bug is added to Regressed by field, change Is regression to
yes
- When a bug is removed from Regressed by field, change Is regression to
no
unless it’srange-irrelevant

Or, this might sound more natural and less redundant:
⚠️ Updated the following comment as I’ve remembered that we already have Has Regression Range flag

---
: default statuswanted
(currentlyno
): replacesregressionwindow-wanted
keywordidentified
(currentlyyes
): replacesregression
keywordirrelevant
not regression
(new value)
(Having identified
or irrelevant
means the bug is a regression, and we have Regressed by field as well, so don’t add Is Regression flag)
Automation
- When a bug is added to Regressed by field, change Regression Range to
identified
- When a bug is removed from Regressed by field, change Regression Range to
not regression
unless it’sirrelevant
Comment 20•6 years ago
|
||
(As I mentioned in Emma’s proposal doc) is_regression
can be added as a bug’s read-only property, which will be true
when Regression Range is identified
or irrelevant
. The will give important info on the UI or via the API while mitigating the inconsistency due to manual edits. We have already done the same thing for the is_open
(Resolution is ---
) and is_confirmed
(Status is not UNCONFIRMED
) properties of a bug.
Have to be manually updated:
- Regression Range:
wanted
,irrelevant
,not regression
Can be automatically determined:
- Regression Range:
identified
(based on Regressed by field) - Is Regression: true/false (based on all the above factors)

The proposed change in comment 15 made sense to me, I find boolean(ish) flags easier to understand than the new names suggested in comment 19.
Comment 22•5 years ago
|
||
The name doesn’t matter; if yes
is better than identified
, we can use it. What I want to say here is:
- Having 2 flags is a source of inconsistency as shown in the Legal Values chart in Emma’s proposal doc
- Given that we already have Regressed by field, the inconsistency will be worse
- The issue can be mitigated by
- Putting all values in 1 flag
- Letting Bugzilla set values that can be automatically calculated
I know the regression info has been very inconsistent so I want to avoid the further chaos.
Comment 23•5 years ago

I agree that one field is better as long as it's not confusing to use.
Boolean-ish values make sense for some of the values with has_regression_range
as the name of the field.
has_regression_range
is---
is defaulthas_regression_range
isno
means it's a regression and don't know the commit that caused ithas_regression_range
isyes
means it's a regression and we know the commit that caused ithas_regression_range
isnot needed
means it's a regression and we don't care what caused ithas_regression_range
isn/a
means it's not a regression
I'm suggesting not needed
instead of irrelevant
.
I think the rule for the generated is_regression
field should be:
- if
has_regression_range
isno
,yes
, ornot needed
then the generated fieldis_regression
should betrue
. - if
has_regression_range
is---
, orn/a
then the generated field should befalse
.
We should also be careful about reclassifying a bug as not a regression if we unset the regressed_by
field. That can mean it's still a regression, but we were incorrect as to the cause and still don't know it.
Question
I went back and read Mike's comment where we started the discussion as to how do we represent bugs which we know are regressions and don't need to identify the cause, and I'd like to know how many bugs that is?
If we allow has_regression_range
= no
to mean is_regression
= true, then that takes care of that case, and simplifies the field. In the case of a long-standing regression which we want to fix, but don't need to know the cause, we can note in the bug that we don't need to find the cause.

My feeling is that two fields here would make things more clear cut and less confusing, but I defer to your judgement.
To give you an example, in the two fields case, if a bug has 'is regression' set to 'no', I can be 100% confident that the person who sets the field actually means to say that the bug is not a regression.
With the single field, if a bug has 'has_regression_range' set to 'no' or 'not needed', I can't be so sure that the person actually meant that it is a regression: maybe it is not a regression, and so clearly there is no regression range (or a regression range is not needed).
Basically with a single field with these possible values, people will need training to get it right (and maybe they will forget about the nuances). With two fields things would be so obvious that people can't really get it wrong.

In the '---' case, I would make 'is_regression' be '---'. '---' means unknown, so if 'has_regression_range' was not filled, 'is_regression' should be considered as not filled too.
We should also be careful about reclassifying a bug as not a regression if we unset the
regressed_by
field. That can mean it's still a regression, but we were incorrect as to the cause and still don't know it.
Agreed. If regressed_by is unset we could move 'has_regression_range' from yes to no.

I've had another idea if we want to be able to have a single field but eliminate the confusion.
Field 'Is Regression', with possible values:
- Yes, range known
- Yes, range needed
- Yes, range not needed
- No
- '---'
(These are the same values proposed in comment 23, just with a different field name and options wording to make them clear-cut).

Kudos for the simple solution!
Comment 28•5 years ago

That’s almost the same as my Comment 18. The problem is, values cannot have a human-readable label at this time. So yes-range-known
is good but Yes, range known
may not work. I’ll figure out if it can be solved.

(In reply to Marco Castelluccio [:marco] from comment #17)
- Less important: some people use "regressionrange-wanted" even when it is not clear yet if the bug is a regression, just as a way of asking the reporter to check if it is a regression. So, we can't be 100% sure that 'regressionwindow-wanted' implies 'is regression'. This is less important though, as in my experience this case is pretty rare.
In my experience this isn't very rare. The data potentially supports this (unless some people assume regressionwindow-wanted
implies regression
): there are currently 337 bugs with regressionwindow-wanted
and 120 of them (35.6%) don't have the regression
keyword: https://mzl.la/2VNNsxB
Often someone reports a bug and doesn't indicate if it's a regression or not and it may not be trivial for me to check for myself so I add the regressionwindow-wanted
keyword and ask the reporter. It's very common for reporters to not reply to questions so having a way to indicate regression ranges are wanted (from QA or community members, like Alice White) is useful, otherwise I would just have to leave the field set to '---' and the bug will go stale if it doesn't sound urgent enough. In the past QA would look for bugs with regressionwindow-wanted
(later only with the qaurgent
keyword) but I think QA no longer queries for bugs requesting regression ranges and that hinders triage (though this should be revisited IMO).
With the proposal from comment 26, there isn't a way to distinguish "defects that may or may not be a regression" from "defects that haven't yet been triaged" so people who want to help find regression ranges don't have a way to query for the bugs.
Maybe we can add "Unsure, range needed" to the list of values? Or how do we want to signal that bug triage is stalled until we get a regression window?

Adding a field such as unsure, range needed
or yes, range needed
can allow bugs to get into an in-actionable state. We'd need an AutoNag rule for it. That said, I'll accept it.

This has never been added to production. WONTFIX?

I think this field would still be pretty useful in the long term.
