No bug policy & Quality Assurance

We are trying as much as possible to practise a "no bug" policy; this means we will generally give high priorities to bugs so they can get fixed quickly. All new bug reports are assigned to the current Milestone in our Bug Tracker software.

To prevent bugs and ensure a great and stable software, Piwik uses automated tests extensively. A large number of automated unit tests, integration tests and webtests run automatically after each modification to the source code, to ensure that Piwik stays stable. This also helps us being agile and release new features regularly, while ensuring no functionnality breaks. Learn more about our Quality Assurance process in Piwik

Security

We are constantly working hard on ensuring Piwik is a secure software which you can trust. We conducted a professional security audit and are constantly working on ensuring high Security standards. Learn more about Security in Piwik
