I didn't find any answer when I asked the last time, so I'm asking again:
What is the meaning of the absolute number of 'regressions' ? Tells us how many regressions there are?
What is the reference point ? The last report ? The last release ?
The last release.
Did this number really go up from the last report to the current one ? I don't know.
But this is at the heart of the question: If the simple addition of a new test run changes the number of failures, how can this number possibly represent regressions ?
In essence you are shooting the messenger.
Right now it is hard to tell whether there was any progress at all over the last couple of months.
Agreed you can't do that from the number of REPORTED regressions. Thomas -- Thomas Witt witt@acm.org
