    Definitions

    Regression: An error in the Maintenance Delivery Vehicle (MDV) that produces incorrect or unexpected behavior causing a supported feature to stop functioning as designed.
    This includes:

    • Coding errors that cause a regression
    • Documentation or packaging problems that cause a regression
    • Errors reported in a new function delivered in a MDV that cause a regression

    Incomplete: An error in the MDV has not regressed, but does not work as designed.
    This includes:

    • Fixed APARs which did not solve the original problem but did not break anything new
    • APARs reporting documentation errors, such as readme errors, that cause problems applying an MDV but do not lead to a regression

    Notes:
    • Regression and incomplete APARs are considered fix-in-error or MDV-in-error
    • Definitions above apply only to valid APARs that result in product fixes (APARs returned as working-as-designed are not assessed for being fix-in-error)
    • Issues in major releases due to new functionality do not apply in this definition

    There are no known regressions to report.
