I recently listened to a podcast episode that was discussing if bugs are good for users.<\/p>\n\n
It suggested that bugs allowed for engagement between you and the user.<\/p>\n\n
If someone reports a bug, you can tell them when you've fixed it. This encourages communication, and the customer will feel more connected to the product.<\/p>\n\n
While this may be true, I think that users would prefer applications that just work.<\/p>\n\n
If your application has major bugs, they may just go elsewhere. Maybe they won't even report the issue to you.<\/p>\n\n
Major bugs can damage your reputation with your users and potential customers, as well as affect potential sales.<\/p>\n\n
If you can avoid them to begin with, that's what I'd suggest. That's what tools and processes such as automated testing, test-driven development and static analysis are for.<\/p>\n\n
When a user reports it (if they do at all), it could be too late.<\/p>\n\n ", "format": "full_html", "processed": "\n
