I learned a bit more about the fields that are in bugzilla so here is some of what I learned. Also, I'll be getting more tasks next week.
- Summary field: Pretty simple, just contains a very short summary of the bug but it may be helpful to put tags, like [Flame] or [User Story]
- Whiteboard: This field is for adding specific words like [blocker] which means the bug blocks some function while [p=1] I think means high priority
- I'm wondering if there is place where I can read more about tags(I'm guessing something like p=2 would mean lower priority but I'm not sure) because it might be helpful to put them in any future bugs I file
- Version: Pretty straightforward but BuddyUp doesn't have a version number yet
- Platform: I was a bit unsure about this one, apparently it's really only useful for application components but not web apps or sites components. In my case, I guess I would put FirefoxOS 2.0 for the platform if it's a bug I find outside of BuddyUp.
- Depends On/Block: I believe this is for listing related bugs. I found an example of a bug with related bugs here. You can click on either "tree" or "graph" to see how the bugs are related.
- CC List: This just allows you to add people to a bug where they will get a lot of notifications so you have to be careful who you add.
- Flag: This seems to be like CC except if you "flag" someone it shows everyone that the bug is tested by a testcase. I might need some clarification on this one.
Here are some helpful links
https://www.bugzilla.org/docs/4.4/en/html/lifecycle.html
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/page.cgi?id=fields.html
Good links! I particularly like the first one, since the flow chart showing the life cycle of a bug is well presented and easy to follow. I'll remember that for future reference.
