CSIT/TestFailuresTracking

CSIT Test Failure Clasification

All known CSIT failures grouped and listed in the following order:

• Always failing followed by sometimes failing.
• Always failing tests:
  • Most common use cases followed by less common.
• Sometimes failing tests:
  • Most frequently failing followed by less frequently failing.
  • Within each sub-group: most common use cases followed by less common.

CSIT Test Fixing Priorities

• Test fixing work priorities defined as follows
  • (H)igh priority, most common use cases and most common test code.
  • (M)edium priority, specific HW and pervasive test code issue.
  • (L)ow priority, corner cases and external dependencies.
