Buyer Beware: Bugs in Content Management Systems
How do you ensure that bugs don't get in the way of your web development with CMS of your choice?
For a CMS vendor to promote the features of their system, a nice orderly list will suffice. The prospective client can run down the list, checking that all required features are available. However, a deeper consideration when choosing a vendor should undoubtedly be how well it runs. Will bugs slow down development? Or halt it altogether?
Frequency of bugs is not measured easily; it requires a high number of customers who use the product extensively over a long period for time to really reveal the truth. And
bug occurrence is not something usually included in a features list. But let’s face it; there is no software without bugs. So an additional measurement to the number of bugs is to measure
the time it takes the vendor to fix them.
