Bugs

A bug is defined as « a problem which impairs or prevents the functions of the product ».
Generally, the definition of a bug is well-understood.

Improvements

An improvement is defined as « an improvement or enhancement to an existing feature or task ».
One example of a new feature would be an extension of the validation made on jbi.xml files (the validation mechanism already exists).

New Features

A new feature is defined as « a new feature of the product, which has yet to be developed ».
One example of a new feature would be the addition of a new editor in the studio (e.g. for XSLT).

Tasks

A task defines « a change that does not impact directly the user ».
One example of a task would be upgrading the version of a parsing library.

Tooling categories

Petals Studio has (for the moment) 4 sub-categories in which you can post tickets.

  • Petals Core Tooling includes all the Petals plug-ins, except those for BPEL and SCA.
  • Petals BPEL Tooling includes all the plug-ins related to BPEL (creation wizard, sketch export, BPEL Designer, validation...).
  • Petals SCA Tooling includes all the plug-ins related to SCA (creation wizards, editors, validation...).
  • Studio Product includes all the plug-ins related to the studio itself (e.g. perspective, welcome page, executable), plus the build mechanism.

When you create a JIRA ticket, pay attention to the category for which this ticket fits.
