Turning bugs into gold: the developer's guide to continuous improvement
summary
An Android developer describes turning bugs into improvement opportunities by treating each report as a source of insight rather than just a fix. The talk covers concrete techniques for root-cause investigation, strategies to extract lessons from each bug, and methods to use those lessons to raise app quality and reduce future regressions—based on handling ~40 new bugs in three months and ~100 bug fixes over a year.
