multiple projects on bugzilla
Tony Tay
My company has multiple projects going on at the same time. Some questions
i have are:
1. Is it possible to track bugs owned by a developer? The bugs will come
from different projects.
The motivation for this question is to see the developer's workload
before assigning him/her to another project. The developer will be using
the same login name for all projects.
2. How do i track bugs by project for:
(a) completed (fixed) bugs for a specified "targeted milestone"
(b) uncompleted (not fixed) bugs for a specified "target milestone"
Will appreciate any ideas and help.

It is trivial to do this in Bugzilla. Just run a query for all bugs
assigned to that developer without specifying a product (aka project),
and you will get a list of bugs across all products in which the
developer has bugs.

Both of these searches are easily accomplished in Bugzilla. For
example, see the following two queries which show my completed and
uncompleted bugs, respectively, for the Bugzilla product's 2.16 milestone:

[TT] Will it be possible to use bugzilla to break down by projects in the
query. We would like to know which project he is on has more bugs than
others.
What would you recommend to track by project ? And how also if i
may ask. I am still learning.

[TT] How do i associate the milestone with a particular project ? Can the
above query be achieved using the query option in bugzilla ?
[TT] Another question which is not related is, does severity have
precedence over priority in bugzilla ?

I'm not sure if it helps, but you may want to
play around with the bugzilla test installation at
http://landfill.tequilarista.org/bugzilla-tip/
and, if you haven't already, take a look at the
Bugzilla Guide (the documentation) at
http://www.trilobyte.net/barnsons/html/
(Chapter 4.3 is about Products and Milestones).
Here are two example links that have to do with products:
http://landfill.tequilarista.org/bugzilla-tip/reports.cgi?product=WorldControl&output=most_doomed&links=1&banner=1
landfill.tequilarista.org is a test installation, so
you can try out everything you want there.
Hope that helps,
Andreas

Note however that this "bug count tables" extension is not yet part of the
standard bugzilla distribution. You can find code for this here:

There is no explicit grouping mechanism in Bugzilla's query system, but
that would be a useful feature to have, so I filed a bug on it.
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122755
If there aren't too many projects, then you could get this information
by running queries for each project and looking at the bug counts.
Bugzilla also has a basic reporting mechanism that will show the bug
counts for all engineers for a given project.

That depends on your organizational structure more than anything else.
Here at mozilla.org we generally give each different program a different
"product" in our Bugzilla installation, then further sub-divide sections
of each program into Bugzilla "components". In at least one case,
however, we have grouped a collection of programs (our web tools) into a
single product and given each web tool its own component.

Take a look at the following page of the Bugzilla Guide:

Yes.

That's up to you. Bugzilla merely provides the fields. It is up to you
to decide how to use them.
