        Now I'm curious, where do you work and is it also an internship or do you work there for a longer period of time (i.e. Your normal work)

            I'm doing my project at Info Support in Veenendaal. I really hope I can stick around there, because it's a great company to work for and it really fits my style of work. Anderlecht turns up some info on google, but it's all soccer, neighborhoods etc.

                We frequently have interns that work with the latest and greatest code and manuals, and they are a great source of feedback. (*cough*cheaptesters*cough*) We were discussing how to reward for finding bugs. Generally, their pay usually isn't great (but the projects are), and I am all for paying them money for finding and isolating bugs (I need a repro!), also mistakes in the manuals, etc. The only two ideas on the table are "a one time bonus for good bug finding skills", or "a small amount for each bug found". The first is much to fuzzy, the second is ripe with horror stories of system abuse - I just don't want to go down arguing what constitutes a bug and what does not, and finding that I rejected 90 of their 100 bug reports might be pretty frustrating for them. So maybe "A buck for each bug reproducable on a developers system"? What would you do? Any Horror Stories? Or maybe, err, ahem, success stories? To clarify: They are not hired as testers. They have a usually very interesting topic to work on. We just want to motivate them to not gloss over the bugs.

                  Donald Knuth in his classic programming series back in the '70s offered a buck for the first bug discovered in his books, and the reward was doubled for each subsequent bug. I don't think he ever had to even pay the dollar reward. Then again, he was a genius and didn't have bugs or make mistakes. *sigh* On the other hand, if I had to pay a nickel for each bug I'd be sleeping in the streets roaming for WiFi with my laptop in a paper bag.

                    Just be sure they don't team up with the programmer to create a little business. :->
