Technically, all software defects can be repaired.
However, it is not necessary to fix all software defects.
What the tester has to do is to be able to judge correctly when they cannot pursue software perfection.
- For the entire project team, what is to be done is to choose every software defect, and decide which defects should be repaired according to the risk.
The main reasons for this phenomenon are as follows:
-
Not enough time resources. In any project, usually developers and testers are not enough, and there is not enough regression testing time in the project, plus the modification of defects may introduce new defects, so there is a strong pressure on the delivery deadline Next, certain defects must be discarded.
-
Some defects only appear under special circumstances. Such defects are considered for commercial interests and can be repaired in future upgrades.
-
Defects that are not defects. We often encounter problems with certain functions that are treated as defects, and such problems can be considered when we have time later.
At last
- Whether the defect is modified should be discussed by software testers, project managers, and programmers to decide whether to fix it. People in different roles think from different angles to make the right decision.
