Introduction Isn’t it obvious that any bug logged in a bug management system should be fixed by the developers? The answer is No. Factors like time to market the product, time to complete project on schedule and developers working in impractical tight schedules etc. force companies to release the product with few bugs which won’t affect the user largely. Who gives the confidence …show more content…
Look at the summary and discuss the impact of the bug on the user’s experience on using software product. 3. Based on the risk and impact assessment set the priority and assign the bug to appropriate developer for fixing the same. During step #2, it is imperative that every test engineer advocate the bug’s impact on the user experience if the bug doesn’t receive the priority it deserves. After all, it is we test engineers who consider the point of view of a user to write test cases and to test the product. Consider the example issue of not displaying the digits after decimal point in a banking domain. To a developer, it may seem like a less severe issue. He might argue that instead of declaring the variable as an integer, he’d declare that as a floating point to solve the issue and hence less severe. Tester role is explaining customer’s situation. Tester’s point should be how the user would complain in this scenario. The tester should say that, this will cause panic among the users as the customer loses his money in cents. 4. Impact of not marketing a bug properly If a bug is not marketed properly it will create issues like: 1. Incorrect defect priority 2. Delay in fixing the important …show more content…
It is more like developing a brand value for tester. In the initial phase of tester’s career, if tester can keep number of “Cannot Reproduce” or “Need more Info” or “Not a Valid Bug” or changes in severity as low as possible, at one stage bugs will not be scrutinized at all and they’d be directly assigned to the appropriate developer to be fixed. To develop such brand value and to win the confidence of tester team and the development and/or management teams, tester needs to develop technical skills in terms of testing knowledge, domain and communication skills. 5. Conclusion Any product or service, big or small, without proper advertising it is always bound to fail. Once a brand is established, any small product can be a super hit with the audience. Having said that, over-advertising a product can also cause damage to the reputation. So, a bug should always be written in a clear, concise and precise manner so that it gives an exact location of bug in the extensive/exhaustive software map. I reiterate that, this not only improves the quality of software but also reduces the cost of testing and developing the software to a great extent. Okay Now! Let’s go and get bugs fixed right
Develop a test strategy for testing the entire application chosen in unit 3 for analysis and design. Keep in mind that testing that involves users should minimize their time commitment while obtaining essential information from their involvement. Specifically define roles, responsibilities, timing, and test strategy for each level of testing.
Brand extension failure: Colgate's Kitchen Entrees frozen dinners, Smith and Wesson bicycles, Frito-Lay Lemonade, Maxwell House Ready-To Drink Coffee and Clairol's “Touch of Yogurt” shampoo are great examples.
Advertising in today's society is largely based on brand name recognition. It doesn't matter how good the product being sold is, but rather how good the product's advertisements are. A consumer is more likely to purchase a more expensive item because it has a flashy advertisement than buy a cheaper product they have never heard of before.
The role of questions in Dunn’s article is to persuade the reader into thinking their own role or responsibility in the behavior of flies. The first question he poses is; “Just where do houseflies pick-up these other bacteria, the one they give back to us in vomit spot, feces and footsteps?” This question is central to his main idea. He poses a second question about the discovery made by his friend named Coby, on pig farms, asking; But why would the flies in pig farms tend to have antibiotic resistant bacteria? Yet again dragging the attention to the issue at hand that is that us humans are largely to blame for the dangers that flies poses to our
When mistakes are made no one takes care of them. Management tends to say they’ll take care of it, then never does. Management has a “lack of quality attitude”.
If the error is detected during a later stage of software development, The developers will require to do a lot of reverse engineering processes which will be very frustrating and time consuming, the developers will have to review preceding steps and rework their deliverables and also might have to start from scratch. The later the software error is detected the more the number of people will be affected by it. This will in turn result to an increase in the cost required to communicate with the affected people and then fix the error. Thus, the cost for communicating the details of the defect, distributing and applying the software fixes and probably retain and convince the end users to use this particular software that has been sold to hundreds and thousands of customers will be too high. Once the goodwill and the brand value of the software is affected it is difficult to regain the customers trust. Ensuring early fixing of errors will save the developers
[a] company may have a unique vision, a superior product, strong management and an efficient distribution system – yet if it is not able to convey the core benefits of the brand to its target audience it will ultimately fail. [5]
If there’s any problem occur during “Testing” phase. The programmer may need to re-design the code and re-implement the partial of the system that occur error. (Russell Kay, 2002)
By following the strategy that I have given, we can monitor the sale of our product. Once we see an increase in revenue, we can increase our advertising campaign to directly penetrate household markets through TV and/or radio. All of these numbers and strategies seem to line up for a successful product.
there is no way of knowing if people are going to like it or not so marketers must be very
Lack of brand awareness. Our company has a strong image in other countries. But as we introduce our product into our new market where we may not have competitors with similar products, we may have competition with a variety of related products. We will address this issue with heavy and aggressive promotion emphasizing in our products’ nutrition facts.
It is unethical for companies to target uninformed consumers, if a product doesn't receive much recognition because it lacks a certain aspect they should view it as a source of improving their product. On another note perhaps the product was lacking advertisement. If this is the case then the company top priority should be to focus on commercials or social media to inform consumers. It is a very shady act to target the uninformed because from a persons point a view they might get the image that a company isn't confident or prideful in themselves. So they rely on taking shortcuts to achieve financial success instead of being a noble company and providing the resources necessary to reach that success.
This kinds of learning and development opportunities offered to the public not only enhancing the technical knowledge of stakeholders, but also serve as a good marketing device which can build brand awareness and differentiate our people and service offerings from legions of practices in Hong Kong.
Software development follows a specific life cycle that starts with designing a solution to a problem and implementing it. Software testing is part of this software life cycle that involves verifying if each unit implemented meets the specifications of the design. Even with careful testing of hundreds or thousands of variables and code statements, users of software find bugs. “Software testing is arguably the least understood part of the development process” and is also a “time-consuming process that requires technical sophistication and proper planning” (Whittaker 71) It is important to comprehend this concept by understanding the different characteristics and aspects of software testing, and then to examine the techniques, procedures and tools used to apply this concept. This will enable the user to realize the problems faced by software testers and the importance of software testing.
There are many elements affecting to the success of a launching. The basic factor is to develop product that satisfies consumers’ demands and maintain the brand promise. However, consumers are not only looking for the quality of product but also concerning about the price, the promotion and so on.
