Topic: How To Log A Bug

Message

As we already have discussed importance of Software Testing in any
software development project (Just to summarize: Software testing helps
in improving quality of software and deliver a cost effective solution
which meet customer requirements), it becomes necessary to log a defect
in a proper way, track the defect, and keep a log of defects for future
reference etc.

As a tester tests an application and if he/she finds any defect,
the life cycle of the defect starts and it becomes very important to
communicate the defect to the developers in order to get it fixed, keep
track of current status of the defect, find out if any such defect
(similar defect) was ever found in last attempts of testing etc. For
this purpose, previously manually created documents were used, which
were circulated to everyone associated with the software project
(developers and testers), now a days many Bug Reporting Tools are
available, which help in tracking and managing bugs in an effective
way.
