| >Components are subsections of a Product. E.g. the computer game |
| you are designing may have a "UI" |
| component, an "API" component, a "Sound System" component, and a |
| "Plugins" component, each overseen by a different programmer. It |
| often makes sense to divide Components in Bugzilla according to the |
| natural divisions of responsibility within your Product or |
| company.</P |
| ><P |
| > Each component has a default assignee and (if you turned it on in the parameters), |
| a QA Contact. The default assignee should be the primary person who fixes bugs in |
| that component. The QA Contact should be the person who will ensure |
| these bugs are completely fixed. The Assignee, QA Contact, and Reporter |
| will get email when new bugs are created in this Component and when |
| these bugs change. Default Assignee and Default QA Contact fields only |
| dictate the |
| <EM |
| >default assignments</EM |
| >; |
| these can be changed on bug submission, or at any later point in |
| a bug's life.</P |

| the "Default Assignee" field must be a login name |
| already existing in the database. |
