Zero Defects: an Agile Approach

When it comes to defect testing and tracking, the goal should be zero bugs over time.

The first keynote at the ‘Agile Testing Days’ conference in Berlin, was a discussion of defect management and tracking. Blogger Markus Gartner discusses this presentation by Lisa Crispin in a recent post.

Traditional defect tracking systems are used for “metrics and to help a team to know what to fix”, writes Gartner. However, Agile use of defect tracking strives for zero bugs over time. To do this, it may be necessary to use a tracking tool.

“The advantages of using a tool to log bugs”, according to Crispin is, “that the tool might provide the metrics necessary on more traditional teams. Also, the customer can get a hindsight of the quality of the system, and managers may use it to control the project.”
