The Task management for testing is used to collect tasks and reports.

If you've never used the system, please register. This lets you assign a password and account name so we know who is doing what work. If you want, you can later go and modify your registration information. This allows you to change your password if needed.

You can look at a number of collections of bug reports. It is only possible to edit those in the active directory, but the reports which are completed are deleted are accessible for reference.

• Current Tasks
• Resolved Tasks
• Deleted Tasks

Finally, if you are the administrator, you can go to the administration page.

The following ideas should probably be gathered into a FAQ. However, until that point, I'll list them here for convienience and so the information doesn't get lost.

• If you don't want to see all of the messages in the index, you can add asscnt=5 to the query string. This will restrict the list to at most 5 (in this case) items for each of the people who have assigned tasks.
• If you don't want to see all of the people (for instance, you want to see your tasks, or the tasks of those you work with, you can use a Perl regular expression to indicate the people. You can add assigned=regan to the query string to see those tasks which have the string regan as part of the Assigned field. The regular expressions can be more interesting; see your Perl book for details.
• If you do a View Source in your browser, you will be able to see the Template file name used to guide the web output. This is useful if you want to change the appearance of the page.
• You can go to the web server machine, and type make update as root and bring the task management software up to date for this particular page. If you want to create a new instance of the task management software, go to the new directory and type /export/home/regan/public_html/taskmanage/SupportBin/update to install the software. You can install it on another machine by taking the update program to the other machine (and assuming the correct Perl modules are loaded) and install the software. The update program knows where to find the official distribution kit, and installs (or updates) the web site without damaging locally modified files.

If you have any question about the Task management for testing, send mail to regan@ao.com.

If you see something which looks like a bug, please report that as well.
