1009225 - Make the 'testing' component more discoverable

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

Description

[Botond Ballo [:botond]]

The https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi page does not contain the word "test". This makes it more difficult than it should be for someone wanting to file a bug in our test infrastructure to discover what component to file it in.

I would suggest mentioning "testing", among other things, under "Other Products".

It has come to my attention that the page https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi takes you depends on your setting for the "Product chooser to use when entering bugs" preference. This bug report applies to the "Pretty chooser with common products and icons" setting, which is the site default.

typing "testing" into the component search field shows most of the testing components (it doesn't show all because there's more than the search result limit).

it's going to near impossible determine _fairly_ which products get an explicit call-out within the description for "other products".  we have a lot of non-core products with contributors, and obviously adding all of them to the main enter_bug page to make them more discoverable isn't going to fix the issue.

once you click on 'other products', "testing" is listed there.


i think it would be better to ensure the product and component descriptions for the test infra contain suitable keywords which make it easier to find with the component search feature.

another way to address this is to provide direct links on your contributor documentation to enter_bug with the product/component pre-selected.
