When it comes to software bugs, not all are created equal - especially when the stakes vary across industries. A bug in a healthcare application could result in life-threatening consequences, while a bug in a holiday booking system might simply cause mild frustration. So, how do you decide which bugs matter most?
In this Tech Talk, Emily O'Connor, Principal Test Engineer at Audacia, shares her experience navigating the complexities of bug prioritisation across diverse sectors. From hospitality and education to energy and healthcare, Emily will explore how different industries approach bug triaging by weighing user impact, regulatory requirements, and business objectives.
Drawing from real-world projects, Emily will discuss how to make informed decisions in industries where stakes and standards vary dramatically. Emily will share strategies to help developers, product owners, and delivery partners take a structured approach to bug prioritisation.
Whether you’re fine-tuning your bug triaging process or simply curious about the unique challenges faced across industries, this talk offers anyone from testers and developers, to product owners and project managers, actionable takeaways to enhance your team’s approach to delivering secure, reliable, and user focused software.
