Bug Tracking System — is software for managing the process of discovering, tracking, and fixing defects (bugs) in a software product.
Main functions:
- Bug registration: Creating records of found defects with detailed descriptions, reproduction steps, expected and actual results, testing environment, and attached files (screenshots, logs).
- Status assignment: Managing the bug lifecycle (e.g., New, Open, In Progress, Resolved, Closed).
- Assigning responsible persons: Delegating bugs to specific team members (developers, testers).
- Prioritization and Severity: Determining the importance and impact of the bug on the product.
- Change history: Tracking all changes made to the bug record.
- Reporting and statistics: Generating reports on the number of bugs, their statuses, fixing speed, etc.
- Integration: Ability to integrate with other development tools (version control systems, CI/CD).
Examples of popular systems: Jira, Redmine, Asana, Bugzilla, Trello (can be used as a simple tracking system).
Using a bug tracking system improves team communication, increases transparency of the development process, and ensures effective quality management of the product.
