1. #Bug Tracking

2. #Bug Tracking
 A software bug is an error, flaw, failure, or fault in
a computer program or system that causes it to
produce an incorrect or unexpected result, or to
behave in unintended ways
What is a software bug?

3.  Most bugs arise from mistakes and errors made
by people in either a program's source code or
its design, or in frameworks and operating
systems used by such programs, and a few are
caused by compilers producing incorrect code
Where do the bugs come from?

4. How to make your team commissionedThe life cycle of a bug
 The cycle a bug goes through during its lifetime. It starts
when the bug is found and ends when it’s closed (fixed),
after ensuring it’s not reproduced
 There are various stages of the bug life cycle. The status
caption in a cycle may vary depending on the software
you are using. Professional bug tracking tools allow to

#Bug Tracking
 It keeps track of reported bugs
 It gathers input from testers, users or developers. Depending
on the severity of the error, each bug is prioritized and further
action is based on the priority of the bug
 It integrates software, software users and software developers.
It also makes the communication between the software
developers and the testers efficient

8. Reproducing bugs
#Bug Tracking
In order to fix a bug, one has to reproduce it first by following the
steps that lead to its occurrence.
Thus a good bug report must answer the three essential questions:
 What you were doing?
 What you expected to see?
 What you saw instead?

9.  Each bug report represents hours or even days
of work. That’s why it’s important that data is well
protected and organized. Bug reports should be
recorded in a database that is backed up on a
daily basis
