Report software companies offer a high price reward for bugs. I am really drunk on 100 pieces, and I am bug100 pieces.
I have been using FineReport, The FineReport report software of fansoft, for a long time, and have been paying attention to the development of this company.
I have some questions and thoughts when I see the activity "raise a BUG and get a bonus.
In general, the new FineReport version will be tested by the test department before it is officially released, and then a small range of users will be selected for trial to ensure stability and then released. Within a short period of time after the release, when the number of users increases, some bugs will emerge. After all, each version update and change is relatively large.
But this time it was a little different. I was really drunk because I had to pay 100 yuan for a bug in the form of activities.
1. If a large number of finereport requests are collected at the end, this will lead to shame. So many bugs reflect unstable products. However, I feel that the people in fansoft have always dared to act. Do they have the determination to break their names?
2. Bugs are not easily discovered. After all, they need to be used in depth to collect bugs extensively. Many user feedback may be related to usage problems, collection only increases the workload for the test department. Filtering bugs is a task.
3. The reward for this activity is 100 yuan. If there is a BUG in the future, do you have to reward it? Otherwise, you will not be able to mention it. In the end, it will fall into a vicious circle, even worse.
4. There are many ways to improve product stability. Of course, the call for the universal campaign is quite good, just like Xiaomi's R & D and testing process. However, it is more difficult for enterprise products.
Of course, the guts and courage of fansoft to do this activity are commendable.
