I work in QA and when our upper management were trying to find a way to calculate bonuses they looked at a bug quota... for all of 2 seconds before realising how stupid and damaging it would be.<br><br>10 bugs a day.... why bother putting in 11, just wait till tomorrow.<br>most bugs in a day? 1 guy works on environment checks while another it put on menus...the menu guy would be lucky to find a 10th of the bugs the environment guy finds....,(reply>), On BIG international companies, the bonus system is totally botched up...<br><br>Apple Costumer Service did have a 3rd party QA team just to check us, our company had one QA internally, and even had a shared QA.<br><br>This meant you had to take at least 20 calls a day, maximum 15 minuet, you could not say "problem" in any case, if you did not mention ONE word from a keybase article (irrelevant to the case), you lost your chance getting any bonus that month.<br><br>Bonus did take up 50% of the salary, and as you can imagine, salary was barely enough by itself.
