How to write a bug report?

Below is a short summary of what to include for each component of a full bug report. Clear Title: A moderator should be able to understand what the bug report is about from the title alone. One bug per report: Report one bug in a single report. If you put in more than one many bug it may be overlooked, and will not be eligible for payment Actual results: This section should expand on the title by stating the behaviour observed when the issue occurs Expected results: The Expected Results section should state how the app should behave according to its intended behaviour. E.g: The authorisation phase completes successfully, the user is logged into the newly created account and redirected to the home page of the app. Steps to reproduce: The Steps to Reproduce section should list each step required to reproduce the bug in chronological order. Severity of the bug: We use 5 categories to identify the severity of the bug. 1- Critical - The bug prevents critical functionality within the app from working. This includes crashing, freezing for which no workaround is possible and a fix is required immediately. 2- High - The bug affects major functionality within the app from working. However, high priority bugs can be avoided with a workaround. 3- Medium - The bug does not cause a failure and does not interfere with the fluent work of the system and programs.

It is a result of non-conformance to a standard that does not impact productivity (e.g. typing errors/ aesthetic inconsistencies, etc.). 5- Usability - A suggestion that would improve how an app is understood, learnt and used efficiently. Device and Operating System: Each bug report must include details of the specific device and operating system you used during the test to identify the bug Other Notes/Error Messages Include necessary and relevant evidence to show the problem you are describing. Evidence includes: screenshots, videos, crash or console logs (for crashes). Crashes and freezes should always include a video and console/crash logs. Bugs with more than one step to reproduce usually require a video..
