Describe me to the basic elements you put in a defect report?


Answer posted by Ravi on 2005-06-01 13:25:52: The bugs are entered into a bug-reporting tool. Nowadays, every organization uses the Test Director as their Test Management Tool. This has Defects section, where you can follow the Steps after Clicking Add Defect Button. If your organization uses a different tool for entering defects, the first Step in entering a defect is give a Name or Summary of the Report, built number, Name of the Test case Executed, Make sure, who opened the bug by writing your name or username, Name of the Project, What is the severity level, priority of the bug, whom you are assigning the defect, what is the date and time of the bug opened, whether the bug is re-creatable or not, if possible take the screen shots of the defects and attach to the Report. These are the main require fields for entering a defect.

Bug means deviation from the requirements. i.e; an application which does not perform the operations as mentioned in the Requirements Document. So we have to report that to the developer. for that we use some tracking tool. in other sense it is called Bug Reporting Tool. which contains the following information. 
1.Bug id 
2.program name 
3. version, release. 
4.Type of the bug 
5.attachments 
6. seviority 
7.is it reproducible 
8. steps for reproducing. 
9.suggestion 
10.Name of the Reporter 
11. date.

Every this is correct but the Bug_id is uniquely generated, once we save the report and thus, we did not need to specify it.
