This template serves as a centralized hub for tracking and managing software bugs, ensuring timely resolution and minimizing disruptions to the development process.

The template is designed with a structured format to capture essential information about each bug, including:

• Bug ID: A unique numerical identifier for easy reference and tracking.
• Description: A clear and concise summary of the observed bug behavior.
• Steps to Reproduce: Detailed instructions for replicating the issue, allowing developers to understand the context and conditions leading to the bug.
• Severity Level: A classification (High, Medium, or Low) indicating the impact of the bug on functionality or user experience.
• Assignee: The team member responsible for investigating and resolving the bug. Use @mentions to notify the assignee directly.
• Status: Current state of the bug (Open, In Progress, or Fixed), providing visibility into the resolution progress.
• Resolution: Detailed notes documenting the actions taken to fix the bug, including code changes, workarounds, or other relevant information.

Bug Log

The "Bug Log" section serves as the primary repository for recording individual bug entries. Each bug is listed with its corresponding ID and the relevant details as outlined above. This organized format facilitates easy navigation and allows for quick assessment of the overall bug situation.

Tasks

The "Tasks" section complements the bug log by providing a space for listing actionable items related to bug resolution. These tasks could involve reviewing, assigning, updating, or fixing specific bugs. The use of checkboxes allows for visual tracking of task completion.

Notes

The "Notes" section offers additional guidance on utilizing the template effectively. It emphasizes the use of @mentions to notify team members, the importance of updating the Status field to reflect the progress of each bug, and the need for detailed Resolution notes once a bug is fixed. It also instructs users on adding new bug entries in the specified format to maintain consistency.

By adhering to this structured template, development teams can streamline the bug tracking process, ensure clear communication, and prioritize bug fixing efforts, ultimately leading to a more robust and reliable software product.
