| Open | The issue has been reported by someone, but no actual progress has been made developer actually considers himself or herself to be currently working on it. If the issue is assigned to a developer, that developer has not begun to actively work on the bug, or is no longer actively working on the bug. Open bugs are typically fair game for other developers to take ownership of, work on, and resolve. |
| In Progress | The assignee is actively working on this issue. Reassigning bugs away from a developer who considers them "In Progress" without communicating with that developer is anti-social. |
| Resolved | The assignee of the issue (the programmer on the scene) believes the issue has been fixed. It is now up to the original reporter to verify the fix. If the reporter verifies the fix, he or she should mark it "Closed". If the reporter finds that there has been some misunderstanding about whether the issue is "fixed", he should communicate with the assignee (the programmer) and mark the issue "reopened". Either way, issues should not languish in the "Resolved" state. |
| Reopened | The reporter does not agree that the issue is resolved and so has moved the issue out of the resolved state and back into the reopened state. |
| Closed | The issue reporter has verified that the issue is resolved. |
