So I've completed the BOT assignments
BOT001 -> BOT005.
All current BOT assignments.
The bottom of this post contains a summary of every assignment and what I observed.
I've found that the bot did find some duplicates, so it's on the right track.
It did however miss on some occasions, where the issues where not related by other than the affected type/category/keyword.
Most of the things it found was Double posts by the same reporter.
It seems that double posting is SUPER-COMMON when trying to upload files, often the Reporter is unaware of this.
If the uploaded file is invalid for any reason, the user is asked to use the BACK button and re-do the upload and re-submit the report.
This causes there to often be almost identical reports, one with a file and one without one.
Often these reports will have sequential ID's, like the below example:
41994198 -- Duplicates, double post by Reporter.
Therefore it should be possible to let a bot crawl through the reports in order, and flag any which has the same reporter as the last report.
This should flag both reports together, for easy manual comparison to confirm later.
Overall I must say that the bot did a good job, at the same time as I did this I read notes and thereby closed a few extras as well.
3 of the issue groups where totally unrelated to each other.
1 group was not duplicates, but related.
2 groups where probably duplicates, but due to lack of info they where set as related.
So this helped out quite a lot!
== Summary of Assignment == Other BOT001 - Fatal Error:
http://bugs.introversion.co.uk/view.php?id=0002980http://bugs.introversion.co.uk/view.php?id=0004084http://bugs.introversion.co.uk/view.php?id=0003305http://bugs.introversion.co.uk/view.php?id=0002903Might be the same for all 4, but due to poor descriptions it's hard to be sure.
It's the same error message, and the same crash location (file & line number).
Likely to be the same bug, but possible that there are more issues.
I don't feel confident in closing them as duplicates.
Found
http://bugs.introversion.co.uk/view.php?id=2850 which has developer response.
While searching I quickly found a whole bunch of these issues.
I'm not closing them, and I think it's best we nest these together as an assignment to be gathered into a Motherbug.
