Bug Tracking


 

Bug tracking is easily done with PARROT.

  • Better management of all your test cycles:
    • With PARROT you can assign bugs to specific versions of your Product.  
    • Assign a support person to the bug.
    • Using the Master Code customization capabilities, assign status codes that match your methodology and track the bugs as they go through the cycle.  As an example, you can add the following codes to the PARROT Status field: New, Assigned, In Progress, Ready for Test, Closed. Then use these codes to track bugs as they are found and completed.
    • Track the bugs using PARROT's search engine with its full Boolean search capabilities.

  • Production support uses all the functionality you have with test cycle management.  In addition:
    • Using a single database for testing and for Production bug reporting/resolution, you can search if any pre-Production bugs found their way back into the code when a Customer calls in with a problem.
    • Track and report the problems for a given Customer or Contact.

  • Get more out of tracking bugs than just tracking them:
    • Assign Problem and Resolution categories (that you create!) to a problem.  Use this information to improve the areas that are causing the most problems.  For example, adding Resolution codes of Code fix,  Documentation, User Error, ..., you can identify the reasons for the bugs and take appropriate action.  This is a real aid for Lessons Learned, as well.
