Bug life cycle – in the eyes of a Programmer

We are working pretty tight with our QA department. Yes, we have some well-documented work procedures but some times I feel that they are too well-documented. After all, we are lazy; We want something easy to see, easy to read & easy to do.


I thought it will be better to document our relations (Development team with QA) in a simple flow diagram:

update:


I’ve added a step: what should I (the programmer) do if I can’t reproduce the bug ?
Thanks Shani.


Maybe it will help you as well.

  1. hi,
    What if the bug exists but could not reproduce by the programmer?!
    your flow does not handle such case!
    would you still change it to rejected?

    I would like to change the status to: "bad bug report" or "couldn’t track your bug"
    thanks.
