![]() The last Microspeak term is RTM, which is short for Release to Manufacturing. A recall-class bug is a bug so severe that you would issue a product recall, shutting down the factory and asking all the warehouses to send back all their copies of the product.Ĭyrus Najmabadi discussed this topic in greater detail in 2005. This term has its origin in the days when software was distributed in physical media, purchased in stores. The next piece of Microspeak in that sentence is recall class. The term probably relates to the use of the term landing to refer to when something will be completed. Note that I’m using the word prediction euphemistically. That dotted line is the bug glide path, or simply the glide path. Superimpose upon this graph a dotted line showing management’s prediction of active bugs in the future, with the dotted line reaching zero at ZBB. You hope that as the product nears completion, this graph shows a line sloping down and to the right. Consider a graph that shows the number of active bugs as a function of time. This is an important milestone because it means that the development team has fixed all their bugs, and they can reasonably be expected to fix new bugs shortly after they are discovered.Įric Lippert discussed this topic in greater detail in 2004. The precise amount of time varies from team to team, but it means basically that there are no active bugs aside from the ones that just came in recently. ZBB stands for Zero Bug Bounce, which is the moment that, even for only a brief shining moment, there were no active bugs in the database more than 48 hours old. ![]() I introduced this sentence in a discussion of the Microspeak phrase the plan for the plan which appears later in the document, but I never did get back to these other terms. Project XYZ is at ZBB and we are now at a recall class only bug bar until RTM. In an old Microspeak entry, I included a snippet from an old document that included the sentence It also covers terms in common use which you are expected to know because nobody will explain them to you. Remember that Microspeak is not merely for terminology specific to Microsoft.
