“I found a new issue in the release.” A sentence that every developer and QA professional has heard — and sometimes dreads. What usually follows? No clear reproduction steps. No logs or screenshots. And often… “It’s not happening anymore, but please fix it before the next release.” This scenario highlights one of the biggest productivity gaps in software development: poor bug reporting. When issues aren’t reported with enough detail, developers spend hours (sometimes days) trying to reproduce the problem instead of solving it. This not only delays releases but also adds frustration across teams. ✅ A good bug report should include: 1. Clear and repeatable steps to reproduce 2. The expected vs. actual behavior 3. Relevant screenshots, logs, or error messages 4. Information about the environment (browser, OS, version, etc.) These small details drastically improve turnaround time, reduce back-and-forth, and lead to higher-quality software. Remember — software development isn’t just about writing code; it’s about building shared understanding between clients, QA, and developers. #SoftwareDevelopment #QA #Testing #BugReporting #ClientCommunication #SoftwareEngineering #Teamwork
