A Bug Bash is a collaborative event where team members across different departments come together to find and report as many software bugs as possible within a limited timeframe. It is usually organized by the Quality Assurance (QA) engineer, but in many small startups without a QA, any main stakeholder can take on the role of organizer.
The participants in a Bug Bash can vary depending on the company size. In a small startup, you can invite the entire company to participate and provide feedback. In a large company, you should invite key stakeholders such as developers, product managers, designers, QA engineers, and customer support representatives.
Bug Bash template is playing crucial role in effective organization. You can always reuse it for different features.
Here is my Bug Bash template that I am usually using to organize the Bug Bash. Here is a step by step guide:
<aside> ℹ️ Create a separate channel for the Bug Bash feature (Slack, Hipchat, Teams Channel, Email Thread or other app you are using for the team communication). It’s a great practice to keep everything in one channel, later you can reuse this channel for dogfooding and Beta feedback if you have those processes in your company.
