The Bug Life Cycle Series
I have been talking about Bugs in the Software Applications in my recent posts. They play an important role in Software Development & Testing. The biggest value addition is to uncover the critical issues of the system at the early stage.
I have already written some posts on the Bug Tracking front and find the list below. They talk about how to handle the Bugs, avoid conflicts & the lessons to be learned for the testers.
- That’s Expected Behavior & Not a Bug – Avoid conflicts over the issues raised. Don’t fight but capture the required information.
- Lesson to be learned from Bugs – An insight into where things went wrong and how to improve upon same.
- Non Reproducible Bugs – How to deal with them ? – An insight into the areas missed and skills needed.
The above posts doesn’t cover all aspects of a Bug. I feel that it’s better to write more on the Bug Life Cycle & explore the same.
The Bug Life Cycle series will have the following posts and i will be writing them in frequent intervals.
-
Context driven information for Bug Reports – It’s the need of the hour
-
Communicate the Value of Bug Reports
-
The End Game
Stay tuned & check out the blog for upcoming articles.
