Bug report

What is bug report?

A bug report is a document or record that provides detailed information about a bug found in software. It helps developers understand the issue so they can fix it.

A typical bug report includes:

  • Title/ID: A brief description or unique identifier for the bug.

  • Description: A detailed explanation of the issue.

  • Steps to reproduce: Clear instructions to reproduce the bug.

  • Expected vs. actual behavior: What should happen versus what actually happens.

  • Environment: Information about the system, software version, and other relevant conditions.

  • Severity/priority: How critical the bug is.

  • Screenshots/logs: Supporting visuals or technical logs.

Bug reports are essential in software testing to ensure clear communication between QA and development teams for efficient bug resolution.
