Topic: Defect Management Process

Message

   Keeping in mind the philosophies and goals
developed in QAI research report number 8, Mosaic Inc. developed a
multi-step approach to defect management.  The major steps involved in
the process are:  

Defect Management Process

Defect Prevention  -- Implementation of techniques, methodology and standard processes to reduce the risk of defects.

Deliverable Baseline  --
Establishment of milestones where deliverables will be considered
complete and ready for further development work.  When a deliverable is
baselined, any further changes are controlled.  Errors in a deliverable
are not considered defects until after the deliverable is baselined.

Defect Discovery  --
Identification and reporting of defects for development team
acknowledgment.  A defect is only termed discovered when it has been
documented and acknowledged as a valid defect by the development team
member(s) responsible for the component(s) in error.

Defect Resolution  --
Work by the development team to prioritize, schedule and fix a defect,
and document the resolution.  This also includes notification back to
the tester to ensure that the resolution is verified.

Process Improvement  --
Identification and analysis of the process in which a defect originated
to identify ways to improve the process to prevent future occurrences
of similar defects.  Also the validation process that should have
identified the defect earlier is analyzed to determine ways to
strengthen that process.

Management Reporting  --
Analysis and reporting of defect information to assist management with
risk management, process improvement and project management.
