The Good and the Evil of Time Tracking

Time tracking is used to track the time so that we can know what type of work we have done in that particular hour or incomplete day. Which helps to calculate that how useful we have used time and how much we have wasted. Time is the most value able if it is gone once, it will never come back. But still there are people who don’t value time at all and they have to face many consequences of not valuing your time.  Like many times we got the project and we think that we will complete it slowly or we will do that later or at the end of deadline time. But when deadline finishes and you are not able to finish your project, then you realize that, might I have done this work at that point when I have wasted my time on unwanted things this is the value of time that we don’t realize at present but regret later. But time tracker helps you to record your each work and gives you the notification if you are going wrong or if your deadline is coming near but work is still pending this helps you to analyze and use your time in a correct way and properly utilize it. Everything  has its own pros and cons same goes with time tracker some feels beneficial some not.

 Like an example, There was the person in the company who sells things online to earn extra for his studies so he works from 7 in the morning till 3 pm in the afternoon just fill his requirement and side by side he used to work in the office and do their work too. But by implementing time tracker in his office, he was a complete trap and was not able to sell his things online as everything was recorded so was doing only office work that reduces his own business and then he was not able to gather enough funds for studies. But in the other hand company getting profit by knowing the employees exact working hours and they are providing salary accordingly this reduces their over cost to their employee. 

Projects of Future’s Past

The most important benefit of time tracker is having the accurate cost of the project. Many IT company runs over time and budget and delivers only 50% of their value incurred which the loss to the company, but this can be avoided if you are using proper time and project tracker and then you can see the difference.  If you are properly tracking any previous project, then that can help you in the future project and its cost. This will help to reduce the risk of the over cost in the budget.  Example like If your company does the same kind of project then and you have completed dozens of projects, then you can use the data and work for the future project and can improve the future project from previous mistake this the biggest benefits of time tracking

We Can Build It, We Have the Technology

Proper time tracking is the biggest benefits for resource allocation sometimes we get a customer who is very irritated with service and give wrong, blame to the company by time tracker and the resources we have by that we can justify you in a good manner and clear the doubt of the customer.  Resource allocation gives proper support.

What is bug testing and Some tools to help

Bug this the error that comes with the software while running which can crash that the program or you can say destroy  that software. This the coding error comes when  the developer  does  wrong coding in the development process of that software. This problem comes when developer inserts any code without the logic of it. Most of the bugs come due to human error. Bug testing checks  the bug of  the software before the release of the software which helps in smooth running of the software and bug testing works like a quality check to the project, which checks the quality and its working process that everything is working fine or not before it reaches to the customer.  But still, the major question comes that why bug test? Is people are not ethical in making the software. But the thing is everyone is not working ethically or it can be human errors as well, so to be on a safer side this practice is incurred to test the bug before it releases to the customer so that you can check all the security issue and software issue early before it gets too late that the main reason why bug testing is important.
An example that how bug testing is done like XYZ company is making a software  first developer work on software making  he gives his 100% to make it effective without any error but as a company you  not rely on the developer he can make a human error which can be a disaster to your company later. But in the same way after the developer is done if there is the gate to check the software before it reaches to the customer then it will be good and in this case, bug testing works like a gate who checks the quality and all the error and send it to the developer to fix it. This helps the company in the smooth running of the software and getting the positive feedback from the customer which will increase the revenue of the company. 
When you are buying any bug tracking tools you should keep in mind that it should be easy to use so that who are not familiar with this process can easily understand that with the help of these tools so that will be simple for them to run and execute it. That tool should be with a feature of automation this helps rectify little operator error. It should be customizable so that you can fit it according to your needs. It should be user-friendly not very complex
