Question asked by sreekanth

Explain about bug report format? Please give a example for bug reporting

A bug report is a record of all the bugs/defects that are encountered during testing.

Each company has their own format for this report. General format can be made with following details:

Defect ID, description, build version ID, feature/module, test case title that failed, reproducible or not, status (new/reopen/close), severity, priority, testers name, reviewers name, date of defect detection, name of developer assigned to, suggested fix (solution).

A bug report is to report a bug with other details. General format---
date, bugid, description, test case id, problem in severity, problem in prioity, author, assigned to, version, expected closing date, actual closing date, status

Dear sutnarcha,

A bug report is not a record of all the bugs/defects but it's record of individual bug that is encountered during testing.

Each bug has it's own different bug report.
