The decreasing of those intervals is what pains me the most. See, lately it seems that often our bughunting is in vain: bugs get left in, while new features are being added. I see this dreaded tendency in myself, as well - I no longer feel the need to or a point in finding the bugs. Why would I try every single feature of the program, if all I'm going to get is several confirmations from fellow testers and often no response at all from the dev team? That is why I rant. So that maybe finally, FINALLY, RITlabs do SOMETHING that would improve the situation - management-wise. Hire a bug-management person? Divide the programmers into feature team and bug squad? Define a clear business plan for the development? Hell knows, maybe all of those... > Could it be the latest addition of 9Val and his contributions on > RITLab's PoV did actually what I always feared: opening Pandora's Box? > Now we know RITLab's is more responsive we start to ask more and more > from them? It's the same with monarchy and democracy. With monarchy, people sit quiet and no country-wide protests or strikes occur - because they KNOW nobody would listen or care. With democracy, people know they ARE listened to - so they complain all they want, hoping to change something. It would seem that democracy makes people less happy, would it not? :) -- |\ /| \~~~/ \~~~/ | \/ | /\ > < \~/ > < ICQ# 3146019 |____| /__\ /___\ /_\ /___\ IQ# 3.14159 Random church bulletin blooper: The ladies of the church have cast off clothing of every kind.
