Defect Fixing ! Hmm one of the terrible thing to developers life. This is the biggest challenge a developer can have during developement. A small defect can make months long hard work bitter. So developers be careful of that and vows yourself to find remedy to tackle this and make your developement life easy. From my experience I have list down some points which might help minimizing defect counts.
- Prevention is better than cure: I think this is the single most important statement that minimize all problems. So what prevention should we take? How this statment is applicable to software development? Well the answer is straight forward follow best practices and coding standard.
- Bug fixing side effect: Most deadly defects are the result of defect fixing. Some features remain untested after fixing a defect in some other feature assuming that the former is already tested before. That is why automation of test cases are highly desirable. Make sure irrespective of severity of the defect you run the entire test cases only again before delivery of code.
- Time line: Make sure you keep enough time for testing your application.
