General development discussion (trends, ideas, ...)
- Discuss Bug 20410, Remove OpacGroupResults system preference and feature -- oleonard
- Sign off and tests failing - question: Recently I've had several cases where the tests pass before and after the patches are applied. However, if system preferences are changed as part of the test plan and tests are run at the end then they fail. If the developer says this is fine (for whatever reason), should we accept that when signing off and then leave to QA to critique their work? Example (not picking on this one in particular, it's the only one I can remember): Bug 22690. --davidnind
Review of coding guidelines
- Proposal for uniform response code for duplicate errors on the API (vote)
- Proposal for related object ids on the API (vote)
