Bug reporting

After you complete your Software Testing, it is good practice to prepare an effective bug report. Fixing a bug depends on how effectively you report it. Below are some tips to write a good software bug report:



If you are doing manual Software Testing and reporting bugs withour the help of any tool, assign a unique number to each bug report. This will help to identify the bug record.
Clearly mention the steps to reproduce the bug. Do not assume or skip any reproducing step.
Be Specific and to the point
Apart from these tips, below are some good practices:

Report the problem immediately
Reproduce the bug atleast one more time before you report it
Test the same bug occurrence on other similar modules of the application
Read bug report before you submit it or send it.
Never ever criticize any developer or attack any individual
