Does the default "Ready to Accept" app query need to be updated?

[Greg Monahan]

The current query is:
((((ScheduleState = Completed) AND (Iteration.StartDate <= today)) AND (Iteration.EndDate >= today)) AND ((State <= Closed) OR ((DefectStatus = ALL_CLOSED) OR (DefectStatus = NONE)))

This prevented a US from being listed. Should the query be updated to reflect:
((((ScheduleState = Completed) AND (Iteration.StartDate <= today)) AND (Iteration.EndDate >= today)) AND ((State <= Closed) OR ((DefectStatus = ALL_CLOSED) OR (DefectStatus = NONE_CLOSED) OR (DefectStatus = NONE)))

Hi Greg,

According to the documentation on that app, only user stories with no open defects should be displayed in this app.

So, DefectStatus = ALL_CLOSED or DefectStatus = NONE would meet that criteria because it reflects either all defects are closed or there are no defects associated with the user stories.

The additional clause would cause it to show users stories that have defects where none of them have been closed.

Well, I guess it depends on your SDLC then. We have US's that have defects that can be Closed or Staged as part of the release deployment for that US/Feature.
In the case where all of the defects under a US are Staged, then this US is not visible for Acceptance. We've made that change to our "Ready to Accept" app - just bringing it up for consideration - review on a per case basis.
