Differentiating between bugs found in a quality control and those delivered to a customer

published November 30, 2009

In our software delivery process at the current customer we end our sprints to a production release. This is a very nice way to keep iterations compact and to minimize huge testing effort before deployment. So, how do we keep track of the bugs that are found inside a sprint by our own quality assurance and those that are shipped to the customer in the new release? We use custom issue types for Jira.

We create the bugs found inside the sprint as “notices” and the shipped bugs as “bugs”. This way we can easily keep track of how our quality control process works, what is the ratio between the notices and the bugs, and to track exactly how much time is spent on a bad quality. This important data is later used in sprint planning to make sure we have reserved enough time to fix notices before the next production deployment. This is a must if you want to release quality software at the end of every sprint.
