Submitting an Issue to the Issue Tracker

For Non-EOL Users

Non-EOL users cannot report issues directly via the ETSI NFV Issue Tracker. However, it is recommended that they submit their issues by sending an email to "NFVsupport@etsi.org".

For EOL Users

Go to the ETSI NFV Issue Tracker and login.

Before creating a new issue, please check that:

a) The issue still exists in the latest version of the respective GS document, and

b) The issue has not yet been reported by someone else. If the latter is the case, please add a comment to the existing issue rather than reporting a new one.

To create a new issue:

1. Go to ETSI NFV Issue Tracker, click "Issues" under "Pinned" drop down button, and click "New issue".
   
2. The Type is default set to "Issue" don't change it.
3. Issue Title: In the issue Title input field, provide a clear and concise one-line summary of the issue.
   • Following the format: [Version] <NFV-Specification> <Issue_title>
   • For example: [v5.1.1] NFV-SOL003 Missing attribute in Query Compute Resources
4. Issue description: In the description input box, clearly explain the issue. Describe what the issue is, what the expected outcome should be, and include any additional details or links to relevant documents if available.
5. Setting additional fields:
   • Assignee: If you are going to resolve the issue yourself, choose "assign yourself" in the "Assignee" field. Otherwise, its Chair, Co-chair, or rapporteur, responsibility to assign the issue to the relevant individual.
   • Labels: Use labels to help organize and filter issues. When creating an issue, make sure to:
     • Add the appropriate ISG NFV Working Group (WG) label (e.g., "NFV-SOL" for a SOL specification issue).
     • Choose a label that describes the issue category: Bug, Clarification, or Feature Gap.
   • Dates and Milestone: If you are unsure with the dates and milestone, leave these fields as they are. These fields are supposed to be managed by Chairs, Vice-Chairs, or Rapporteurs, if needed.
6. Once all necessary details are added, click "Create issue" to submit.

In case of confidential issues:

• If this is an ETSI NFV internal issue (e.g. gap tracking by the rapporteur) and this issue is still confidential because it refers to a non-public document, send it via email to "NFVsupport@etsi.org".
• Note: We should keep our own issues public whenever possible, as this helps reducing duplicate reports.

Issue categories:

Category	Semantic
Bug	Some aspect of the spec cannot be implemented as described.
Clarification	Some aspect of the spec is ambiguous or unclear.
Feature Gap	The specs are missing a feature (e.g. an operation, parameter) without which the described features cannot be implemented.
