Ideas
Test results are recorded in test tools
during test execution
• Spreadsheets used to communicate
defects to other groups
• Email and rekeying used to manage
defects in development
• Manual process for status report and
reporting
Defects flow into project
management, development and
requirements
• Work is allocated to the defects in
development
• Status is reported in project
management
• Status of requirements are
updated in requirements
Operations send email and update
spreadsheets for ticket information
• Spreadsheets are used for
ticket status reporting and
analytics
• Email used for high severity
defects and issues
• Information is aggregated
periodically to create total
quality metrics
Tickets / Problems flow seamlessly
into the Agile development process
• High importance tickets are moved
into sprints
• Status of applications is reported in
real time
• Project team and operations can
collaborate in context
