FreeDesktop.Org at a Glance — Resolve & Fixed Bugs
Well as I tend to lean towards lots of stats, I am at it again. I’ve been pulling a snapshot of all FDO bugs daily (missed one day) for the past couple weeks, I hope to use these snapshots to get a core set of stats for QA purposes, here is my first “snapshot of a snapshot” 
One of the most telling statistics for LibreOffice is the number of bugs which are marked RESOLVED (encompassing a few sub categories) and more importantly RESOLVED – FIXED which is a designation which says “yes indeed there was a bug, but a patch has been committed to fix it”. Below is a table which shows data pertaining to these two things (RESOLVED & RESOLVED – FIXED) since 1/15/2013.
| DATE | Total # of Bugs Marked “RESOLVED” | Resolved Bugs Per Day | Sum of Resolved Bugs Per Day | Total # of Bugs Marked “FIXED” | Fixed Bugs Per Day | Sum of Fixed Bugs Per Day |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| January 15th, 2013 | 7657 | 3226 | ||||
| January 16th, 2013 | 7676 | 19 | 19 | 3233 | 7 | 7 |
| January 17th, 2013 | 7697 | 21 | 40 | 3242 | 9 | 16 |
| January 18th, 2013 | 7706 | 9 | 49 | 3247 | 5 | 21 |
| January 19th, 2013 | 7724 | 18 | 67 | 3249 | 2 | 23 |
| January 20th, 2013 | 7732 | 8 | 75 | 3250 | 1 | 24 |
| January 21st, 2013 | 75 | 24 | ||||
| January 22nd, 2013 | 7756 | 24 | 99 | 3258 | 8 | 32 |
| January 23rd, 2013 | 7767 | 11 | 110 | 3261 | 3 | 35 |
| January 24th, 2013 | 7788 | 21 | 131 | 3272 | 11 | 46 |
| January 25th, 2013 | 7806 | 18 | 149 | 3278 | 6 | 52 |
| January 26th, 2013 | 7815 | 9 | 158 | 3283 | 5 | 57 |
| January 27th, 2013 | 7824 | 9 | 167 | 3285 | 2 | 59 |
| January 28th, 2013 | 7842 | 18 | 185 | 3293 | 8 | 67 |
The information above is a bit messy but all in all here are some high points:
- In the past 2 weeks or so we’ve marked 185 bugs as RESOLVED
- Of those 185, 67 were marked as FIXED — again, this means that there was a confirmed bug that was fixed
- Every day there was at least 1 bug fixed
- The best day was January 24th, where 11 bugs were fixed in approximately a 24 hour period
While numbers alone can’t prove the tremendous amount of work done by developers on a given day — as example consider a day where only 1 bug is fixed but that single bug is hundreds of lines of code — the numbers are promising that we are daily achieving incredible progress towards our goal to make LibreOffice the best, most comprehensive, office suite available.
Just to add a nice looking chart to this data, here is a visual of bugs marked RESOLVED & bugs marked FIXED per day.
I’ll end it here with saying a big THANK YOU to all of the developers, QA, Marketing, UI, locale, documentation, etc.. etc… that make this project possible – without each of you, we would be left with nothing.
Thanks all, until next time
Best Regards,
Joel
Thanks for these stats! I appreciate these number, and the underlying meaning of these numbers (the fixes that are made).
Is there any possibility to create some automation of this task? (and maybe to do this on the official server/side, maybe ask at websites@global.libreoffice.org)
We are looking into this but it’s quite a task to automate, ultimately we’re hoping to use PyUno to do this. I’ll discuss it with website team going forward, first we need a clear idea of what stats we want to maintain. After I get about a month of data, the QA team and I are going to look at what we can do with it
any updates? New stats? XD
I just did February stats last Friday so I’ll be writing up a blog this week hopefully. They are quite a bit more extensive so I may do several posts about them, dunno if demand for stats is that high
