[QA] How to Write a Bug Report

  • QA

A bug report will include the following parts:

  • Clear title: Highlight what’s wrong and related functions or features.
  • Steps to reproduce the issue: Make it as detail as possible and attach images or videos if necessary. A picture is worth a thousand words.
  • Actual result
  • Expected result: It’s better if we could link to documentation or official technical information.
  • Other Notes (if necessary)
    • Operating System
    • Device
    • Browser
    • Version
  • Severity of the bug
Critical The bug prevents critical functionality within the app from working. This includes crashing, freezing for which no workaround is possible and a fix is required immediately.
High The bug affects major functionality within the app from working. However, high-priority bugs can be avoided with a workaround.
Medium The bug does not cause a failure and does not interfere with the fluent work of the system and programs. It has an easy workaround.
LowThe bug does not affect functionality or data, or require a workaround.  It is a result of non-conformance to a standard that does not impact productivity – typing errors/ aesthetic inconsistencies.
Usability A suggestion that would improve how an app is understood, learnt and used efficiently.
