    Re: Bug report format

    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).

    Lack of WILL POWER has caused more failure than
    lack of INTELLIGENCE or ABILITY.

    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.

    Bug report can be done different way but , the main gole is to explain the developer that where the bug is found and how it found .otherwise they will not accept it as a bug
