If you have been following my recent blog posts, you may be interested to know that a consultancy client recently evaluated the effects of applying the techniques described in the post on hyper-productivity to fault fixing.
Their conclusion was that when using my techniques for fault fixing, faults were fixed in approximately half the normal length of time, or in other words, that developers were twice as productive as usual.
TAKE AWAY
Most literature on fault fixing estimates that the average developer spends over 50% of their time fault fixing. So if you are looking to improve the efficiency of your development staff, it must be worth considering techniques that double the productivity of this time.
