How we get the bugs out

Discover our product bug ranking and removal system

You read that right. We rank bugs. Our goal with the ranking system is to identify and remove the most disruptive bugs as quickly as possible. Part of this process involves you. Yeah, you! If you find a rare bug while using a ConnectWise product, screenshot it and send it to Help@ConnectWise.com for further investigation.

Prioritizing bugs

Our Priority Ranking System is for both internal and external use, creating transparency in the product development process. It indicates the urgency of fixing a defect for ConnectWise as a company to ensure we have the greatest positive impact to as many partners as possible.

Critical issues rise to the top of the assigned development team’s to-do list, with the goal of patching the issues ASAP.

High partner impact stopping them from serving their clients

High number of partners impacted

2 - High

High priority issues move to the top of our development team’s backlog to be evaluated and worked on when the next development team member becomes available.

Medium partner impact that allows them to continue serving their clients

High number of partners reporting or impacted

Workaround may be available but may add significant additional effort
