Bug reporting via memes

" A picture is worth a thousand words" - well, who has not heard that before but as with most things simple we might not give it its due because it's easily understood.  In our team we have a pretty straight forward process to deal with bugs. I demo it to the dev, and add a sticky on the board for it to be fixed. Most of the time the fixes take priority, so we can move the stories across. It works well for our context.

The never ending debate - Manual vs Auto, is manual testing dead? do we need manual testing in agile? & blah blah

We have delivered over 20 builds to production in the last 12 months. (avg 15 stories per sprint) We have no show stoppers or major issues reported by end users.
