Bug discovery purpose
- Bugs create Debt
Bugs fixing practices
- When you find a bug that has already been delivered to the market, at first estimate the amount of work needs to fix it :
- If it is small do it in the current Sprint and just inform the Product Owner.
- However, if it is not small, ask the Product Owner to put it on the Product Backlog.
- Unless your company has specific guidance on fixing bugs, they represent work to be done and should be ordered on the Product Backlog by the Product Owner.
- If a Developer is unsure of what to do with a bug, he / she should talk to the Product Owner.
- A bug should be resolved right away if :
- 1) if the work to fix the bug is less than the work to actually file it.
- 2) if the bug is so critical that it would be negligent to leave it unfixed
- If bugs occur (which they certainly do), the person finding the bug should be able to report (document & send) the bug to people in charge of fixing that error or failure.
- Bugs discovered in Sprint should be fixed immediately :
- The person who have done the bug fix it, or whoever the Developers agree should fix it.
