What is the best way to add buffer work in a project plan

Hi All,

What is the best or the most optimized way to add buffer resources in
an MPP?

Scenario -
Planning for a phase in the SDLC of a software project. Plan might look
like:
1. Phase 1 - 1 Jan - 31 Jan - 22 days - 176 hrs
1.1 Analysis - 1 Jan - 10 Jan - 7 days - 56 hrs
1.2 Design - 11 Jan - 13 Jan - 3 days - 24 hrs
1.3 Coding - 16 Jan - 20 Jan - 5 days - 40 hrs
1.4 Testing - 23 Jan - 31 Jan - 7 days - 56 hrs

In this scenario, i would like to make some provision for buffer
effort. I would like to add a Task 1.5 - Rework for 10 hour of work in
between 16 Jan - 31 Jan ( duration of 12 days )

What could be the best way to add this effort?

Postscripts:
1. The tasks are fixed unit tasks
2. One possible solution would be add a task as the next line item and
manually set the work to 10 hours and duration to 12 days with starting
day as 16 Jan,; and then allocate a resource.

Is there any other option or mehtodology?

Much Rgds
