Bug Report Writing

Create bug reports developers can reproduce and fix.

Required Sections

Title - Action + Object + Context. "Submit button unresponsive on checkout page after adding coupon" not "Button broken".

Environment - Application version, OS, browser, device, relevant configuration.

Severity

Severity Impact Examples
Critical System unusable, data loss Crash on launch, data corruption, auth bypass
High Major feature broken Cannot checkout, search returns nothing
Medium Feature impaired Sorting broken, validation missing
Low Minor/cosmetic Typo, alignment, slow animation

Steps to Reproduce - Numbered, specific steps from a known state. Include exact inputs. One action per step.

Expected Behavior - What should happen per requirements or reasonable expectation.

Actual Behavior - What actually happens. Copy/paste exact error messages.

Additional Context (optional) - Screenshots, console logs, stack traces, related issues, workarounds.

Writing Guidelines

Be specific: "Enter '[email protected]' in the email field" not "Enter some data".

Be objective: "Login page returns 500 error" not "The terrible login page crashes".

Be complete: Include versions, exact error messages, frequency (always, sometimes, once).

Be concise: One bug per report. Avoid narrative. Use bullet points.

Anti-Patterns

Do not combine multiple bugs in one report. Do not use vague steps like "click around until it breaks". Report symptoms, not your theory of the cause. Do not submit without version info. Always explain what screenshots show.
