#Bug Tracking

A software bug is an error, flaw, failure, or fault in a computer program or system that causes it to produce an incorrect or unexpected result, or to behave in unintended ways

What is a software bug?

Most bugs arise from mistakes and errors made by people in either a program's source code or its design, or in frameworks and operating systems used by such programs, and a few are caused by compilers producing incorrect code

Where do the bugs come from?

The cycle a bug goes through during its lifetime. It starts when the bug is found and ends when it’s closed (fixed), after ensuring it’s not reproduced

There are various stages of the bug life cycle. The status caption in a cycle may vary depending on the software you are using. Professional bug tracking tools allow to customise workflows and statuses

Reproducing bugs

#Bug Tracking

In order to fix a bug, one has to reproduce it first by following the steps that lead to its occurrence.

Thus a good bug report must answer the three essential questions:

What you were doing?

What you expected to see?

What you saw instead?

Each bug report represents hours or even days of work. That’s why it’s important that data is well protected and organized. Bug reports should be recorded in a database that is backed up on a daily basis
