<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nCreate a clear and detailed bug report<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
To resolve any issue, you first need to understand exactly what the problem is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bug reports must be detailed enough so that developers can easily recreate the bug, but not too descriptive to waste time and confuse the person assigned to resolve the issue. Bug reporting templates<\/a> are especially useful for a systematic quality assurance process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Bug reports should include all necessary data, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ideally, the report would also contain a screenshot or a video of the bug to help developers get a better understanding of the issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you use a task management tool<\/a> like Plaky<\/a> by CAKE.com<\/a>, you can add photos and videos in the files section<\/a> of the task card to have everything in one place.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n Try Plaky by CAKE.com for free<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The idea of resolving bugs and issues without an appropriate tool seems impossible or, at least, exceptionally difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To achieve maximum efficiency, you need a tool that can adjust to your workflows and provide you with a smooth bug tracking process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Plaky by CAKE.com is powerful project management software that can help you create a board<\/a> that fits your bug tracking process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can create bug reports as items or tasks on a Plaky board in a matter of minutes. To better organize your bug tracking processes, you can create 4 groups of items:<\/p>\n\n\n\n That way, every bug report would be added to the backlog first. From there, it would make its journey from the development team to the QA team (and back again if necessary) to finally reach the deployed group when the issue is solved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can transfer tasks simply by dragging and dropping them into a suitable group. <\/p>\n\n\n Besides the description of the bug, you can add fields to include more information, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Create a bug tracking board in Plaky<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Not all bugs cause the same level of trouble. Some are more urgent and need to be resolved as soon as possible (e.g. bugs that cause security threats), while others can wait their turn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So, it’s best to have a system to help you prioritize bugs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can add a field in Plaky to mark a task’s priority level. Usually, the priority of the task is labeled as high, medium, or low, but feel free to add whatever priority levels you want. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The colored labels help you see any high-priority tasks with just a moment’s glance on the board.<\/p>\n\n\n \ud83d\udca1 Plaky Pro Tip<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Learn more about project and task prioritization in our articles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since bugs are an inevitable part of the software development process, it\u2019s safe to say that QA will need a bug tracking board for each of your new products. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So, save yourself the trouble of always starting from scratch and use a bug tracking template instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Plaky by CAKE.com offers a pre-made bug tracking template to get you started, which you can customize to fit your requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Get our bug tracking template<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n But you can also save a board you created as a template.
