Presentation - Let's End the Defect Report-Fix-Check-Rework-Cycle

Richard Leavitt

By: Richard Leavitt

As one of the creators of PVCS Tracker and early contributor to Rational RequisitePro, Richard shares his extensive defect tracking experiences and describes the shift occurring in test early, test often development environments. Historically, defect reports are often the primary means by which testers and developers communicate, while defect metrics drive critical release decisions. But this defect-driven approach near the end of a "test-last" release cycle has little relevance in more modern iterative and incremental development practices. This slide presentation provides an overview of how software organizations are revamping their defect tracking work flows and project metrics in response to dramatically shortened development cycles.
