Tiivistelmä
Web development has become increasingly complex in the past decade. Delivering features faster and more reliably than the competition is one of the main aspects of success but with speed comes a higher chance of failure. These tendencies are the main reason shorter and safer development cycles become increasingly important. This, in turn, also leads to a shift in what an issue with the program (called a `bug`) means, how it is processed, and what fixing it means.
The aim of the thesis is to examine the role of knowledge transfer in software development, specifically in the domain of defect processing. An overview of bug management and software development history is followed by an introduction to knowledge transfer studies. Research on knowledge transfer is applied to a bug database, examining how tacit knowledge is codified during the process. Topics and suggestions for further research are outlined.
