What is Khoros's Bug Process?
Khoros handles all incoming issues through our Support team. Our article on how to report an issue is available here.
During the triage and troubleshooting process, Khoros may identify a particular issue as a bug within the system. At this juncture, we notify affected customer(s) with as much information as possible and that the issue has been identified as a bug.
Our support team continues to be the primary point of contact for you and we leave the case open until the bug has either been resolved (after confirmation with the customer), deferred, or identified as a ‘won’t fix’. As a SaaS company, Khoros is not always able to commit to resolving certain bugs. However, we do commit to provide communication as quickly as possible. In addition to this, we may defer a bug to an indefinite date when a specific feature comes up for rewrite.
Throughout the lifecycle of an open bug, Khoros support continues to communicate the current status as best as possible along with any confirmed timelines. Initially, Khoros does not commit to specific timeframes for bug fixes, but when the issue is clarified or placed on a Sprint for completion we will be able to provide a date for the release that the bug will be in.
Here are a few reasons why we're unable to specify timeframes when addressing bugs:
When we take all of these factors into account, it becomes impossible for us to provide an initial timeframe even on something that may appear to be a simple fix.
In all cases, Khoros partners with our customers to understand business impact which helps us prioritize issues across our customer base in a more effective manner. For customers that have Premium support, this is completed through the Technical Account Manager.
I have a case now with Khoros Support with a Bug Identified status. Our CSM is saying the fix is planned for Q1, but Support is saying they haven't identified the root cause and trying to identify may happen in Q1.
I'm curious what is the expectation when we say it is scheduled for Q1?
