In my previous post, Defect severity vs. priority, I used examples that explained the rationale behind deciding when to fix and not fix defects. Given agile’s focus on not allowing defects to go unaddressed, I now see that some people could have been confused by these examples.
Please note that that post addressed a general quality assurance concept, that the examples were hypothetical, and that it was not agile-specific.
I should write some more blog posts on my experiences with defects in agile environments.
