Make everything, even a 1 min fix a ticket and insist it's under right category and right project, the time is accounted for, and each developer have to report

Make everything, even a 1 min fix a ticket and insist it's under right category and right project, the time is accounted for, and each developer have to report 8h time worked a day and you can have plenty of time wasted on ticketing
- robertlagrant 4y agoIf you're making a change without saying what it is or how to test it, and not writing an automated test to cover it then that would be a problem. It might be 1 minute in code, but that doesn't mean it's a 1 minute fix.
- mnd999 4y agoIt depends. Maybe the 1 min fix is to add a missing test case for something that already works. Spending 20 mins creating a templated Jira for that is a waste of time imho, but it depends on what you do. In some places that have externally audited traceability requirements that would be necessary.
- robertlagrant 4y agoYes, I agree with that. I'd say that changes to the running codebase would need (slightly) more formality than changes to the test codebase, but yes, if tests are a feature e.g. because they feed into regulatory output, then they should also be ticketed. I don't find that a Jira ticket takes more than 2 minutes to write though, so maybe there's a difference in terms of number of mandatory fields.
- michaelt 4y ago2 minutes? That's barely enough time to load the Jira ticket creation page...
- robertlagrant 4y agoHah! Hit create and the popup opens. Unless you have a load of plugins installed, in which case tell your IT department off.
- ilyt 4y agoThe commit or comment is enough for that.
