When QA finds any issue or bug that are responsible to report it in a systematic way. The bug life cycle continues from the very beginning to end of the bug. Tester is responsible to open and close it.
There are two type of bug:- Functional (i.e. Action)
- Cosmetic (i.e. Spelling mistake)
Fig: Bug life cycle.
As soon as tester finds any issue/bug they should report it to the appropriate person (i.e. Test Lead). When Test Lead confirms its a bug, tester should create/ open a bug using bug tracking tools (i.e. JIRA). Then it will be assigned to developer team. As the developer resolved the bug, it comes back to the tester/QA. Then tester again test the bug is fixed or exists. If bug is fixed then it is verified and then closed. If not fixed, tester re-open it and it goes back to the developer. Sometimes developer says it will be fixed later/near future, then it is called deferred.
Steps to report a bug:
- Find a valid bug
- Open a bug
- Summery/Title of a bug, Description
- Describe steps how to reproduce the bug.
- Take a snapshot, even create a video if possible.
- Explain Severity - How severe the bug is.
- Set priority - how soon it should get fixed.
