--- Comment #8 from Björn Michaelsen <bjoern.michael...@canonical.com> --- (In reply to comment #7) > Please bear in mind it isn't just fairly technical developers of > 'extensions' that can be affected. End-users with application developments > of their own can also be affected. > > The details of many of the commit messages are incomprehensible to such as > myself. However, I well understand that changing a data type in a form > control could affect my code. The Good Thing is: You dont need to completely understand the commit message to test a daily build. Actually its a Good Thing if the tester isnt _too_ confident in "completely understanding" the commit message, as it can lead to the reader thinking: "ah, this cant possibly break my stuff, so Im not testing ..." (see also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XpnKHJAok8&feature=player_detailpage#t=1399s ). This is not what we want for three reasons: - if the reader tests the change, he/she is not only testing the specific scenario, but also other stuff - if the reader is confident in understanding the message, but misunderstands, there is less testing, which is not what we want - the the reader is confident and understands the message right, the message might still be wrong or incomplete. Again, testing would help the case here. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
