some of you already know, My Team is building a Huge Rails Application. Nthid.

Exception Notifier plugin is a great plugin. As a manager I ensure every crash is reported, analyzed and fixed.

I have few thousand mails which I have collected from exception notifier.

I have sorted the bugs by 

controller

model

helper

views

gems

libraries

db (bad sql/connection/migration/

file(file not found/ file permissioning/file upload)

nil class

exception not properly handled

browser specific errors

we also do logging within application to know response time by for different actions.

we have a bug/request tracking system where we have over 300 tickets handled in last 3 months.

we have reduced the crashes and bugs by 95%(from Jan 2007) and are now optimising 

optimisation we were able to reduce the query by over 90%. by caching query results, improving algorithms.

with nearly 2000 commits in a year, we have learnt a lot about Rails and programming practices.

it has been a great learning experience.

each bug is potentially "how not to" program exercise :)
