Abstract:
Defect bash is a co-located testing session performed by a group of people. We performed a systematic review of the academic and grey literature, i.e. informally published writings, of the defect bash. Altogether, we found 44 items (17 academic and 27 grey literature sources) that were identified useful for the review. Based on the review the definition of defect bash is presented, benefits and limitations of using defect bash are given. Finally, the process of doing defect bash is outlined. This review provides initial understanding on how defect bash could be useful in achieving the software quality and lays foundation for further academic studies of this topic.
