Bug Report

A Bug Report is a formal document that details a defect found in a software application. It serves as a critical communication tool, providing developers with the necessary information—such as steps to reproduce, expected results, and actual results—to investigate and resolve the issue.

Example: Example: A Bug Report for an e-commerce website might include the following information:

• Title: "Product not added to cart from search results page."
• Environment: Chrome browser, Windows 11.
• Steps to Reproduce:
  1. Go to the website's homepage.
  2. Search for "blue t-shirt."
  3. Click the "Add to Cart" button directly from the search results.
• Expected Result: The blue t-shirt is added to the shopping cart.
• Actual Result: An error message appears, and the item is not added to the cart.
• Severity: High (prevents core functionality).
