Timeline for My boss decided to add a "person to blame" field to every bug report. How can I convince him that it's a bad idea?

The Person Reporting the Bug will not likely be the person that is the root cause I mean think about trying to find a an error in your own code after 36 hours of writing code this week?

What you will also see is a massive increase time spent arguing violently with testers that their "bugs" aren't bugs. | |
