Jira tickets for code changes
=============================

Please open a `jira ticket <https://jira.opencord.org/projects/VOL>`_ describing the issue/feature.

- For large or multi-part features create a containing ticket with several
  sub-tickets tracking individual features or problems.

    - Use preformatting to improve readability (else message becomes a run-on sentence).

    - Select preformatted
    - Copy and patest text into the preformatted box to retain structure.

  - Reproduction step(s) for problems
  - Web URLs, links to jenkins job logs are very helpful.

    - Note: Jenkins job logs will age out and disappear over time.
    - To prevent this view the job history panel in jenkins UI

      - `View a jenkins job page <https://jenkins.opencord.org/view/vip/job/verify_bbsim_unit-test>`_
      - Two links are available in history (lower left corner), colored icon on the left and #job on the right.
      - Click the #job link to view job.
      - Top right corner will contain a clickable button "Keep this build forever".
      - At some point in the future after a ticket has been resolved
        remember to revisit the job log and unfreeze it (click button:
        Do not keep this build forever)

- Assign field ``Fix Version/s:`` VOLTHA-X.Y

     - This will enables searching for feature by release.
     - Leveraged during release to document fixes and enhancements in release notes.
- While viewing a jira ticket, the 'More' navigation pulldown menu at the top
  is useful for creating sub tickets or creating links to external resources.
