Scoring Issues

[tsopas]

Dear all hi,

I am new to this forum, however we use Mantis (currently on 1.1.6) for more than a year now and we are very satisfied. I would like to ask if there is functionality regarding scoring issues.

Scoring is a calculated number indicating eventually the importance of an issue. One way to calculate it is to have a weight number for each level of severity, priority, and time.

I would appreciate if someone advise me if Mantis can do that.

Have a look at the summary page.
A part of the information is based on a kind of scoring system driven by severity and resolution.
This can be influenced by configuration in config_inc.php
The following is the default configuration

Code: Select all

	/**
	 * Define the multipliers which are used to determine the effectiveness
	 * of reporters based on the severity of bugs. Higher multipliers will
	 * result in an increase in reporter effectiveness.
	 * @global array $g_severity_multipliers
	 */
$g_severity_multipliers = array( FEATURE => 1,
	                                 TRIVIAL => 2,
	                                 TEXT    => 3,
	                                 TWEAK   => 2,
	                                 MINOR   => 5,
	                                 MAJOR   => 8,
	                                 CRASH   => 8,
	                                 BLOCK   => 10 );

	/**
	 * Define the resolutions which are used to determine the effectiveness
	 * of reporters based on the resolution of bugs. Higher multipliers will
	 * result in a decrease in reporter effectiveness. The only resolutions
	 * that need to be defined here are those which match or exceed
	 * $g_bug_resolution_not_fixed_threshold.
	 * @global array $g_resolution_multipliers
	 */
	$g_resolution_multipliers = array( UNABLE_TO_DUPLICATE => 2,
	                                   NOT_FIXABLE         => 1,
	                                   DUPLICATE           => 3,
	                                   NOT_A_BUG           => 5,
	                                   SUSPENDED           => 1,
	                                   WONT_FIX            => 1 );

I didn't check for 1.1.6, but I think it the same.
Is this what you mean with scoring?

First of all thank you for your response.

I saw this scoring in summary page and indeed it is a way of scoring. Can I use this logic to create a new section in summary page representing the scoring of issues?

What do you mean with "Can I use ....?"
You have the sourcecode and can change whatever you want.
A better way would be to update to 1.2 and to write a plugin for this.
