Bug bash
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Bug bash is where all the developers, testers, program managers, usability researchers, designers, documentation folks, and even sometimes marketing people, put aside their regular day-to-day duties and pound on the product to get as many eyes on the product as possible."
Bug Bash sounds similar to eat one's own dog food and is a tool used as part of Test management approach. Bug bash is usually declared in advance to the team. The Test Management team sends out the scope and assigns the testers as resource to assist in setup and also collect bugs. Test Management might use this along with small token prize for good bugs found and/or have small socials at the end of the Bug Bash. Another interesting Bug Bash prize was to Pieing Test Management team members.
