Step 1
Download Defect Register from Equip [ Reports >> Export >> Defect Export ] and paste it in "Defect Register" sheet from col "A" to "L".
Step 2
For every defect, identify the appropriate Defect Cause Category (Col "M") from the below list.
Coding Error
Missed out Requirements
Incomplete Requirements
Improper Understanding of Requirements
Environmental Issues
Inconsistent requirements
Incomplete design
Lack of Standards
Lack of Standards Adherence
Incomplete Documentation
Lack of Tools
Lack of Knowledge
Lack of Testing
Others

Step 3
The Defect cause categories with their corresponding weighted defects are populated in the "Pareto Chart" sheet. Press the "Sort" button to sort the defect cause categories
based on the weighted defects, in descending order.
Step 4
From the Pareto Chart," identify the defect causes that contribute towards 80% of the defects ( Pareto Chart sheet ).
In case, Pareto chart reveals not a 80-20% situation, then 2 reason exists - 1) Less defects 2) Many defect with Many causes.
1) Less Defect - Choose defect that needs Causal Analysis on individual merits ( viz; Customer defect, Severe defect, etc)
2) Many defect Many causes scenario- Project team need brainstorming on "why we many defects on various causes." Make use of "Pivot tables" sheet for further Analysis

Conduct Defect Prevention meeting. Discuss the Defect Analysis


Brainstrom with the team, identify the root causes (For the defect cause categories that contribute towards 80% of defects) and fill the fish bone analysis chart.
Preserve Minutes of Meeting.
Steps to document Root causes:
Specify the Problem / Issue (Defect cause categories that contribute towards 80% of defects) in cell C4. (E.g. ; Maximum defects are occuring due to Coding errors.)
Categorise the sub causes and root causes under appropriate major categories ( People, Process, Tools, Technology ) and document the same in cells C7-F7 to C15-F15.
Sub causes and root causes documented are auto populated in the Fishbone Diagram. Hence enter values only in the cell specified (C7-F7 to C15-F15).

Note: Perform seperate RCA for all the defect cause categories that contribute towards 80% of defects. Root Causes can be documented in RCA-Fishbone-Defect Cause 1 & RC
Fishbone-Defect Cause 2 sheets. Copy and insert RCA sheets if required.

Step 6
For the identified root causes, list down action plans in the "Action Items" sheet and track them to closure.
Ensure the Action Plan is timebound and has identified measurments to track the effectiveness

Step 7
The effectiveness of action taken to be verified and recorded under "Action items" sheet and in case the action taken is found not effective, further plan of action to be identified an
Verification shall have objective evidences such as measurements that demonstrate the effectiveness of Action item.

==' operator in place of .Equals method was used for string comparison.
While doing DB testing of story changes, null was inserted in string format instead of true null.
Scenario of showing Dental and Vision only plans was handled incorrectly in Block and MedicalDetail sections of the Select A Plan pag
Scenario of handling ordering of selected plans on Select A Plan page was missed during implementation.
Code logic for email validation on Save Quote pop up was missed during the implementation.
