12.6. How to verify an Issue that is rejected

This can be performed by any member of the project (any role). There might be special skills involved but it differs widely depending on the nature of the Issue.

Do the following:

  1. Pick any issue that is RESOLVED/(INVALID, WONTFIX, or DUPLICATE) that you have not raised nor solved. The chosen issue need not be connected to an available release. The list of all RESOLVED/INVALID, RESOLVED/WONTFIX and RESOLVED/DUPLICATED issues.

  2. Read through the description provided.

  3. Do one of the following:

    • If you agree with the statement and feel that the rejection is done for correct reasons, put the Issue in Status VERIFIED.

    • If you don't agree, put the Issue in status REOPENED and give a description as to why you don't agree.

  4. Do this as many times as you like until there are no Issues left.
