Question

I found the hrsRemainingDescendentSum on the CBUG object, but noticed it is not included in the online class library documentation.

Is this an "undocumented feature" that maybe I should avoid?

Also, I noticed there is no corresponding hrsRemaining property like are available for the other hours estimate numbers.

Is it safe to just calculate this as follows, or is there something else that should be factored in?

double remainingHours = myBug.hrsCurrEst- myBug.hrsElapsed

Answer 1

Looks like a pair of bugs. One, that the documentation is missing, and two, that we don't expose hrsRemaining. It's not something that should be hidden, so you can go ahead an use it.

We calcalate hrsRemaining this way:

double remainingHours = Math.Max(0.0, myBug.hrsCurrEst- myBug.hrsElapsed)
