Thursday, August 28, 2008 3:00 AM

The author explains why it is important to fix bugs as discovered and not leave them piling up in a bug tracking system. I tend to agree with this approach. http://community.ative.dk/blogs/ative/archive/2007/01/29/The-Waste-of-Defects-_2D00_-Bugs-are-Stop_2D00_the_2D00_Line-Issues... Read More...

Friday, June 20, 2008 6:12 AM
