IBM SC34-4499-03 manual Closed state

defect/feature will only go to the verify state when all the workareas for the release speci®ed move to complete state.

Note: If you do not intend to ®x that defect for the release speci®ed, then you must move the defect to verify state manually by doing a defect -verify. This should be done by the originator of the defect.

When a defect or feature is accepted, TeamConnection creates a veri®cation record. This record lets the originator:

vAccept the ®x if the resolution was satisfactory

vReject the ®x if not satis®ed with the resolution

vAbstain if unable to assess the resolution

Once all veri®cation records have been accepted or abstained, the defect or feature moves to the closed state. If a veri®cation record is rejected, the defect or feature returns to the working state. The defect or feature cannot be closed until the veri®cation records are accepted.

A defect or feature can have more than one veri®cation record. For example, if defect 123 is returned because it is a duplicate of defect 122, a second veri®cation record is created for defect 122. The originator of defect 123 is the owner of the second veri®cation record for defect 122. If the originator is the same for both defects, only one veri®cation record is created.

Note: For a discussion of veri®cation records and test records, see ªVeri®cation and test recordsº on page 49.

Closed state

The closed state is the ®nal state of a defect or feature.

If the defect is associated with multiple work areas, the defect will remain in the working state until all of the work areas are integrated.

If the component includes the verifyDefect or verifyFeature subprocess, the defect or feature automatically moves to the closed state after all veri®cation records are in the accept or abstain state and all work areas are in the complete state. If a veri®cation record is rejected, the defect or feature moves back to the working state. Otherwise, the defect or feature moves directly from the working state to the closed state when the ®rst work area moves to the complete state.

You cannot re-open a defect or feature that is in the closed state. If the defect or feature was not resolved correctly, you must open a new defect or feature to address the necessary changes.
