You also need some demographics on the responders to validate the response.
IF they only have experience with 7.5 and 7.6 they will never know that relative to version 4.0 everything else has been a cakewalk. What if the platform makes a difference? Any data you are collecting is so subjective and limited that it is really quite useless for virtually any purpose. Self selecting, how do you determine that you have a big enough and random sample? (I have always wanted to find the time to be able to compare number of major issues in a BMC Remedy release versus Other companies releases but that becomes quite difficult in terms of measuring apples to apples).

Because of the way data like this could be used, it wouldn’t hurt to have a statement at the beginning, something like: This data is being collected by {state your name/company here} and will be used for gathering information in order to help improve the BMC Remedy product and to help BMC Remedy users.

From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Jose Huerta Sent: Monday, June 25, 2012 2:16 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Buggy version survey ** Doug, First, the poll is to check one concept before publishing anything about it. Second, I won't extract wrong conclusions from the poll. That is, if the most voTed version is the last it doesn't mean that it's buggy (it is a relative question, not absolute). Even it doesn't mean that it is the most buggy. New developers will talk only about last versions. Also, peoples memory is short term at many cases, so they easy forgot about old versions and only see what is happening to them now. In fact I though that 7.5 will be the most buggy, but current results are not in that direction. To summarize, as an independent writer I want to tell truth, without any concern about if it likes or doesn't like BMC. But also I'm not a sensationalist writer, or at least I think it. And every time I tell my opinion through the blog, I try to make it clear: it's my opinion, not the thruth.

The last thing I would want to see is ad copy that says "a 2012 poll of well known Remedy programers thinks all the recent releases are buggy." (Yes, of course there are bugs. It's software!) If you have reason to believe the releases are buggy, I for one would love to hear how you have addressed the issues you've encountered. I'd view that as a positive contribution to our little ecosystem.
