How Do You Measure, Measure Errors?

At least you know the automatic error reporting works... :-\

The United States invariably does the right thing, after having exhausted every other alternative. -Winston Churchill America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between. -Oscar Wilde Wow, even the French showed a little more spine than that before they got their sh*t pushed in.[^] -Colin Mullikin

Most of the time. Doesn't seem to work for web services, though.

Indeed. Units of George Bush are always a good measurement of errors. Marc

Seeing as how I can't vote that up, have a Facebook 'like' instead :)

You're assuming it's not failing to report 90% of the errors. ;P

I didn't say that it was perfect. I just said it worked... :laugh:

I'm not concerned with saving space. It's just sad there are so many errors.

I think GeorgeBushs are a good measure, but gigabytes aren't. I manually grade each bug, usually using values of 1, 2 and 3 (easy, medium/normal, bloody difficult), and look at the sum of all bug values over a period of time. You might find a system with more values (for example cosmetic, easy, regular, difficult, took ages to diagnose/fix) more useful, I'm pretty happy with just three values - there are many-many-many cosmetic bugs, whereas the really awful ones are rare, so the fact that occasionally a bug takes three days to fix is canceled out by the maybe 100 trivial bugs fixed during the same time.

I think you error reporting loops :).

I have a few friends who introduced it to me; I like it too. I think my aspie side appreciates the numeric aspect. :rolleyes: For the uninitiated, this is from Rent.
