Who is responsible for bugs after software release?

[Ronan Healy]

What happens after software is released and a bug is found?

Who is responsible for the bug? Is it:

The Developer for writing that code in?

The Tester for not coming across it?

Or the whole team?

Has this happened to you and how does your team resolve it?

[Archana]

It is the whole team.

No product or software can be bug free. It is a continuous cycle of development and testing.

Just as you do not hold a developer responsible for all the bugs found during testing, you do not hold a tester responsible for bugs found after release.
