QUESTION # 04: How this tool is used in defect management?

ANSWER:

Sure! Let's imagine a software development team at a company that

produces a mobile application for online banking. This team utilizes
Trello to manage their defect tracking and resolution process. Here's how
they might go about it:

Real-World Scenario: Banking App Development Team:

1. Board Setup:
- The team creates a Trello board named "Banking App Defects"
specifically for managing bugs and issues.

2. Workflow Lists:
- The board consists of multiple lists: "Reported," "Triaged," "In
Progress," "Under Review," "Resolved," and "Closed."

3. Defect Cards:
- Each time a user reports a defect (e.g., app crashes during money
transfer), a new card is created in the "Reported" list.
- The card contains details like:
- Description: The app crashes when trying to transfer money
between accounts.
- Steps to Reproduce: Log in > Go to Transfer Money > Enter amount
and recipient > Click "Transfer".
- Severity: High
 - Priority: Urgent
- Attachments: Screenshots or logs showing the issue.

4. Triaging:
- The QA lead reviews reported defects and moves them to the
"Triaged" list after prioritizing them based on severity and impact.

5. Assignment:
- The lead developer assigns the defect card to a team member, moving
it to "In Progress."
- The assigned developer updates the card with comments like,
"Investigating the root cause" or "Working on a fix."

6. Review Process:
- Once the developer resolves the defect, they move the card to
"Under Review."
- The QA team then tests the fix in a staging environment to ensure the
issue is resolved.

7. Resolution:
- If the fix passes testing, the card is moved to "Resolved." If not, it
moves back to "In Progress" with additional comments.

8. Closure:
- After the defect is verified in the production environment, the card is
moved to "Closed."

9. Utilizing Power-Ups:
 - The team uses the GitHub Power-Up to link defect cards with GitHub
issues or pull requests, ensuring seamless integration with their code
repository.
- They also use the Calendar Power-Up to keep track of deadlines and
important dates related to defect resolution.

QUESTION # 05: Name some control programs with which the tool
