SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Hunts for latent defects before they are reported by guiding defect-hunters through a cheap-to-deep, multi-level workflow that favors concrete findings over speculation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Use boundaries to scope hunts to whole repo, recently changed files, hotspots, or risky modules.
  • Follow the six-level hunt model (L1 through L6) and runtime technique lanes to systematically surface defects with traceable evidence.
  • Deduplicate findings, route confirmed issues to the bug-tracking system, and isolate scratch notes during triage.

Quick Start

Begin with a low-cost L1 check on recently changed areas, then escalate through L2–L6 as evidence dictates.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find latent bugs in recently changed files before release?

To find latent bugs, apply a cheapest-to-most expensive multi-level workflow starting with low-cost L1 checks on recently changed areas, then escalating through L2–L6 as evidence dictates.

What is the best way to scope root-cause analysis for high-risk modules?

Scope root-cause analysis by setting boundaries to target whole repositories, recently changed files, hotspots, or risky modules, ensuring systematic defect hunting with traceable evidence collection.

How does the multi-level triage workflow surface hidden defects?

The multi-level triage workflow surfaces hidden defects by applying L1 through L6 checks and runtime technique lanes, enforcing a structured process that prioritizes concrete findings over speculation.

Can I deduplicate findings and route confirmed issues to bug tracking?

Yes, you can deduplicate findings, route confirmed issues to the bug-tracking system, and isolate scratch notes during triage to guide remediation with clear evidence.

Does this defect hunting approach require specific dependencies or components?

No dependencies or components are required. This evidence-based defect hunting approach relies entirely on its internal structured L1-L6 process and runtime technique lanes to uncover issues.

When should I not use a cheapest-to-deep workflow for defect hunting?

Avoid this cheapest-to-deep workflow when you lack clear scope boundaries, as it requires targeting specific areas like hotspots or high-risk modules to systematically enforce its multi-level checks.
