FAQ

What is bug tracking vs issue tracking?

The term “bug tracking” focuses specifically on tracking and resolving software defects or bugs, while “issue tracking” has a broader scope and can include more: feature requests, enhancements, documentation issues, etc.

What is the bug tracking lifecycle?

The bug tracking lifecycle is the entire range of the steps involved in managing and resolving a reported bug. This includes bug identification, bug reporting, bug triaging, bug assignment, bug fixing, bug verification, and bug closure.Ā 

How do you track bugs in Agile?

In Agile, bugs are tracked and managed using a centralised bug tracking system, where they are logged, assigned to team members, and prioritised for resolution.

Which tool is the best for bug tracking?

aqua is the best tool for bug tracking. It has a great defect template, unlimited customisation, and the feature set for your entire QA and beyond. aqua also has a native integration with Capture, a solution to automatically record and transcribe web test executions.

How to perform bug tracking?

Bug tracking requires a dedicated solution where testers and potentially others will be adding discovered defects. These defects are sent to development so they can reproduce the issue, fix it, and request validation from QA. This process continues until the issue is resolved.

What is the difference between bug tracking and issue tracking?

They are essentially the same, although some sources may use the term issue tracking to describe requirements management solutions rather than QA-oriented tools.

A bug-tracking tool is an application to help software development teams track, report, and resolve issues and bugs in development and QA. These tools provide a centralised platform for capturing, organising, and monitoring issues. They typically offer features such as:

  • Bug capturing
  • Issue tracking
  • Workflow management
  • Communication and collaboration
  • Reporting and analytics
  • Integration capabilities
Bug tracking

Here are some best practices for issue tracking to manage and resolve issues:

  • Standardise issue tracking by establishing clear guidelines, necessary information, format, and severity levels.
  • Use a centralised system to provide visibility to your team and avoid issues getting lost in emails or across different platforms.
  • Provide clear and detailed descriptions, including steps to reproduce the bug, screenshots or error messages.
  • Prioritise bugs based on severity, user impact, or business priorities.
  • Assign issues and set realistic deadlines to maintain accountability and keep the team focused.
  • Regularly update progress as your bugs go through different stages (e.g., open, in progress, resolved) for transparency.
  • Foster collaboration and communication to ask questions, provide updates, and share insights using project management tools.
  • Perform regular reviews to assess the status of open issues, prioritise new ones, and decide on issue resolution.
  • Analyse and learn from each bug by evaluating the resolution process to identify opportunities for improvement.
