Description
As discussed in today's Oslo QE meeting, we need to figure out a way to quickly and painlessly share Coverity issues with developers, in order to discuss and decide which ones are worth promoting and which are false positives.
Something like a plugin providing Jira-Coverity integration
- automatically creating Jira tickets from the Coverity UI
- Linking from Jira to the relevant Coverity page
Requirements:
- we can't expect all developers to have a Coverity login or to go in Coverity just for quick evaluation of most likely false positives, as it is quite time consuming to do so (or is it?)
- most of the valid coverity issues are expected to have security implications; How to handle that in Jira?
- On one side, creating public tickets might be disclosing dangerous issues
- On the other side, restricting the bug to "Qt Security Team" (which is a very limited group) might beĀ too restrictive for getting the feedback needed from developers.
Notes
HTML export of Coverity defects
Can be achieved with tool cov-format-errors
