?? How to write an Effective Bug Report ????
Hey Bug Busters! Let's make your bug reports pop! Here's the lowdown on the must-haves for a stellar bug report:
Title:
Get attention with a catchy title! Use brackets to show the main problem. And hey, once you're done, do a quick check to make sure the title is on point! ??????
Environment:
Share the deets! Mention your device (Is it a computer, tablet, or something else?), spill about the OS version causing the trouble, and toss in your test account info – email address and password. Let the developers know which VIP account uncovered the bug! ??????
Don't forget the app version! Saying "latest version" won't cut it. Some bugs are version-specific, spill the beans for the future! ????
And when you're testing, talk about your internet connection – WiFi, Ethernet, or cellular data. How fast is it? Reproducibility rate matters! ????
Steps to Reproduce:
Make it coder-friendly! Number your steps, cut down on unnecessary details, and use ">" for clarity. Example:
1. Go to settings > Profile
2. Tap on More Options > Delete Account
No need to bore us with extra steps. "Open App" and "Login" are skip-worthy unless they're vital! ??♂?????
Expected Result:
Think like a regular user! What should happen when you tap that button? Be specific; "The program should not crash" won't cut it! ?????

Actual Result:
Spill the beans! What happened? Any issues, glitches, or is everything smooth? Get detailed, be their bug-fighting hero! ??♂?????
Proof:
Pics or it didn't happen! Attach videos, images, log files – the whole deal! If actions trigger the bug, a video is a must. If it's a constant UI hiccup, grab a screenshot. And don't forget those logs! ??????
Severity/Priority:
Help the devs prioritize with severity ratings – low, medium, or high.
- High/Critical: Messes with the user flow or blocks app usage.
- Medium: Gives users a less-than-stellar experience.
- Minor: Everything else (typos, missing icons, layout hiccups, you name it!). ??????
