it's actually crazy how much a supportive work environment can improve the final product and in general quotas seem to always backfire encouraging more rather than quality.,(reply>), Platitudes for the sake of likes.,(reply>), When you think about it a quota is a quantity so you are correct. Quotas will always result in that because you get what you ask for and quotas are you asking for a number.<br>For you to have a quality quota you would have to first quantify quality (jeez say that 5 times fast). That's gonna pretty hard since quality is a pretty subjective concept and even where people might universally agree it's often more of a "know it when you see it" type of thing and not something you can easily describe or define in any certain terms.,(reply>), @_Gungrave_ But then you'd have the exact same problem of quantity over quality. The problem here isn't whether people are being punished or rewarded (altough yes, positive feedback is usally the way to go); the core idea of finding "the most" or "this number" of bugs is stupid and counter-productive.,(reply>), Its been proven for decades now that humans respond better to positive reinforcement rather then the reverse, but our culture absolutely loves punishment as apposed to rewards.,(reply>), Offering a bonus for finding and documenting the most bugs in a set period of time would be the smarter move.
