Bug Badge

I am laughing my posterior off this evening reading through the secret bug thread.

It makes me think that in future beta projects, I would want to provide a positive incentive for reporting bugs--maybe a badge, maybe a funpickle or special object, maybe something else.

It's no longer relevant here, but I'm curious if anyone has worked on a beta that successfully provided an incentive or reward for reporting bugs.

  • I was pretty . . . "Into" . . . badges, and if I'd found some of those bugs, I can't imagine giving them up for a badge. MAYBE a funpickle, but probably not that either.

  • Kind of. In the 80s (LATE 80s. sigh. clears throats), I worked for a software company and you got bonuses for finding bugs. The halloween party was bug themed and everyone came as a bug. :) So it's different in that I wasn't a beta tester. The cash was nice.
