Bug report quality checklist
Part of the
qa-manual-istqbskill. See SKILL.md for full context.
Minimum viable bug report
- Clear title that describes the issue + location
- Repro steps that a new person can follow
- Expected vs actual behavior
- Environment details (build/app version, OS, browser/device, role/account)
- Impact and scope, plus frequency
- Severity and priority set consistently
- Evidence attached (screenshots/video/logs/trace)
Severity vs priority (keep distinct)
- Severity: how bad the problem is for the user/system.
- Priority: how urgently to fix it given plans and constraints.
Make reports actionable
- Reduce to the smallest reliable reproduction.
- Include any constraints (only happens on Safari, only for Admin role, only after refresh).
- Link related requirements, test cases, and recent changes if known.
