Bug Reports

Compared to Fedora 23 Final, we had 20 less reporters and 147 less new reports. While the numbers here are down like the validation testing results, this could be interpreted as a sign that Fedora is getting less buggy!

…and also 355 other reporters who created less than 4 reports each, but 480 reports combined!

1 The total number of new reports (including “excess reports”). Reopened reports or reports with a changed version are not included, because it was not technically easy to retrieve those. This is one of the reasons why you shouldn’t take the numbers too seriously, but just as interesting and fun data.
2 Excess reports are those that were closed as NOTABUG, WONTFIX, WORKSFORME, CANTFIX or INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Excess reports are not necessarily a bad thing, but they make for interesting statistics. Close manual inspection is required to separate valuable excess reports from those which are less valuable.
3 This only includes reports that were created by that particular user and accepted as blockers afterwards. The user might have proposed other people’s reports as blockers, but this is not reflected in this number.

Conclusion

Coming to a close on the Heroes of Fedora F24 edition, it’s obvious to see that Fedora is clearly growing. The numbers compared to Fedora 23 are larger, especially looking at the F23 vs. F24 Alpha release. The F24 Final release also had less bugs reported, prompting the thought that perhaps Fedora is getting less-buggy as a whole. Thanks for checking out this Heroes of Fedora series on F24, and thank you to all who participate in the release of a new Fedora; it would not be possible without you.
