What is Bug Tracking Process, Reporting, Re-testing and Debugging?
Submitted by: Srinicvas Bug Tracking Process This is the process to track the bugs from the time found to get fixed by the developer. Generally testers find bug and will be sent to development team to fix it. During bug fixing, the bug status varies from New, Open, fixed, Closed, Deferred, Reopen etc., Reporting Once the bug has been found, it has to be posted immediately in bug report with required information to reproduce it in development side. Reporting is telling your counterpart that this is the way you can reproduce it in your system. You can include screenshots along with bug report to understand easily. Re-testing Once the bug has been fixed, testers have to retest to check whethere the bug has been fixed properly or not. If it hasn’t been we should send back to development team else change the status to CLOSED. Debugging The development will do debugging to trace out where the error is occured.
