Information System Project Plan for Defect Tracking in Business

This project plan, developed for BIT 595: Professional Consulting in IS, focuses on an information system project centered around defect tracking. The project begins with an introduction highlighting the increasing reliance on information technology in various sectors and the potential for system disruptions caused by software bugs. The problem statement emphasizes the need for effective bug tracking to prevent failures. A literature review explores existing methods for bug detection and the benefits of an agile approach. The project's objective is to identify and mitigate bugs, finding ways to improve bug tracking within organizations. The scope of the study aims to identify a device that can detect bugs in the early stages of development. The plan includes an introduction to the topic, a problem statement, a literature review, objectives, scope, and references, offering a structured approach to understanding and addressing the challenges of defect management in information systems.

2INFORMATION SYSTEM PROJECT PLAN
Introduction:
Information system is a huge area and with every passing day the area is increasing
further. New technologies are being discovered which is leading to more and more ways in
which the system can be disrupted. In the contemporary world, as much as 60 % of the business
sectors makes usage of the information technology for the purpose of the operation. Information
technologies helps in the analysis of the data along with the storage and the processing of the
data as well. All the records are stored in the cloud based facilities nowadays. However, with so
much of the technologies in use, defects or dispute may occur at any place or time (Banjo, 2017).
A defect tracking tool or the defect tracker is used for the purpose of tracking down the system in
search of the source of the defect and close it after proper testing and inspection.
Problem statement:
In this scenario where there is maximum usage of the technology in the business sectors,
educational sectors, banking and many others, if bugs and other small programs makes
disruption, there is chance of failure of the entire process. With the introduction of the defect
tracking devices in the usage this can be prevent. The research is proposed such that these kind
of disruptions in the system can be prevented from occurring.
Literature review:
The software developers are one of the most annoying things that are faced by the
software developers around the world. Fixation of the bugs in the system is one of the toughest
job for the developers of the business organization. There are numerous ways which are adopted
by the business all over the globe for the prevention of the bug attacks (Zimmermann & Artís,
2019).

On a simple scale it is easier to deal with and track down, the problem mainly arises for
the larger scale of the applications business or the system with more workers where the bug not
only can bother the entire system but also spreads rapidly within the same network.
Even with the proper testing procedures it is often seen that the entire scenario is out of
the hands of common debuggers. In these cases, an agile approach is very important. The agile
approach which are followed by the business at present makes use of the technologies which
instead of fixing the bug tracks them down on the daily basis, such that the source can be found
out.
According to Sarmah & Kakoty, (2017), the major component of the bug tracking system
if the databases that are in use of the system. These databases includes the components of the bug
trackers that is the time the bug was reported, the severity of the impact that it had on the system,
the post symptoms that has led to the identification of the bugs in the device or the system. the
facts of the bug tracking system includes the identity of the person who has reported the bug to
the system as well, along with the programmer which is expected to work upon the mitigation of
the bug, A bug can reproduce in the system and spread throughout the system without any
knowledge of the user or the organization.
This discussion was supported by Kajal, Bansal & Chakraverti, (2019), who said that a
typical bug tracking device acts similar to the life cycle of the bug which tracks the status of the
bug such that the source of the bug can be deciphered. It is extremely important for the bug
tracking device to permit the authorities or the administrators for downloading and configuring
permission on the basis of the status in which the bug has been detected in the system.

However it is now completely possible for the organization to perform a bug analysis
automatically after certain configurations are changed. This is one of the best way to deal with
the bugs such that they can be detected based on the abnormality in the system in the very initial
stage of the problem.
Objective:
The primary objectives of undertaking the research are given below:
 To identify the bugs which can cause harm to the system.
 To find the ways in which they can be mitigated.
 To find the importance of the bug tracker in the organization and the problems it may
prevent from taking place in the origination.
Scope:
The scope of the research study is to identify such a device which can fix the problem of
the bugs in the system more accurately than before. This device could be able to detect the bug in
the very initial stage of its development.
