My life as a Code Economist Eric Sink tells you about a terrible week he had at SourceGear, releasing three "maintenance-releases" in one week.
He argues on the "Should we fix this bug or not" stating four questions:
|
Question One |
When this bug happens, how bad is the impact? |
Severity |
|
Question Two |
How often does this bug happen? |
Frequency |
|
Question Three |
How much effort would be required to fix this bug? |
Cost |
|
Question Four |
What is the risk of fixing this bug? |
Risk |
Eric gives some great annotated examples of stating these questions on some actual items on his buglist.
