I started a QA team for a small company. last year. We don't have a standing bug backlog.

The main reason for this is that we're a QA team not a DA team, as in Defect Assurance.

Our focus is on preventing bugs

by advertising upfront to the team what will be tested. We want to keep test cycles fast, reliable and passing 100%.

You've addressed the why behind this process but not the how. There always will be dissenters who refuse to take this action and will make up reasons why they need all their bugs floating around. How do you address this? And how do you get to the root of why engineering leaders are often very afraid to take this step? Most of them aren't forthcoming about their real reasons. Often it's just fear.
