I am all for this. I think it is something to strive for. I also think that bug fixing can sometimes take multiple hundreds of percentages of the original development time. This is where initiatives like this lose steam. Complexity of setup/recreation/intermittent bugs means explaining to a project manager and/or development manager that the task is going to miss the sprint. Or that the task is taking x number of hours and this causes said manager to see what the bug actually costs to fix. Then they look at the feature backlog and something has to give. Can’t tell senior leadership that we are missing one of their arbitrary(or even well thought out and pragmatic) deadlines because then the PM worries that they will be perceived as losing control of the project. So priority changes and features are the focus.
It’s just the way I have seen things go way too many times, whether I was involved or not.
