Site Usage Guide

There are two trackers set up for this site; Defects and Requests.

Bugs

• errors and exceptions they have encountered while installing or running OMS, or
• in errors they have found in OMS documentation.

Bugs should be submitted individually as seperate items and not grouped together. When a bug is submitted, the submitter should also select the appropriate category and assign a level severity.

• Example catagories are:
  • Component Building - for errors encounted building a model compoenent,
  • Model Building - for errors encountered combining components into a model,
  • Model Running - for errors encountered running an OMS model that are related to the OMS system itself,
  • Installation - for errors encountered installling the OMS system,
  • Documentation - for errors discovered in OMS documentation.

• The levels of severity are:
  • Blocker - if the bug prevents the use of OMS to build components or models.
  • Critical - if the bug is seriously handicaps the user in building components or models.
  • Major - if the bug is a major annoyance to the user and slows down the process of building components or models.
  • Minor - if the bug handicaps the user from doing work but would be nice to fix.

Requests

• requests for changes in the OMS behavior (how OMS works), or
• requests for feature enhancements ( behavior or functionality that OMS does not currently have but is desired by the user).
