Bug Reports
Step 1. Perform Initial Analysis
To be handled by Level 0 and 1.
- analyze request
- interview user/ ask for additional info if required
- consult Mantis to see if this bug is already posted to mantis (if this is a bug)
- try to reproduce (if this is a bug)
- try to re-solve if possible (if this is not a bug)
- provide user with workaround if possible (if this is a bug)
- make sure it is a bug, not a change - consult wiki to see if system behaves as defined in spec (then it is not a bug)
Step 2. Create Bug Report
To be handled by Level 0 and 1.
- Bug Report must have:
- good summary (one sentence describing bug, this is how it will appear in Release Notes)
- good description
- steps to reproduce
- screen shots, etc
- always reproducible? (Y/N)
- priority / expected ETA defined
Step 3. Escalation (in some cases)
To be handled by Level 2.
Step 4. Create Mantis and forward to development
To be handled by Level 3.
- create mantis

Change Requests
Requests for Change should initially go to the module owners, and then discussed at The CT2 Board meeting since they may impact other modules. The Board will then decide if they are necessary and should proceed for design and development.
