What is a bug tracking and what are the bug tracking tools used in software development? Bug is an error occurred in coding and bug tracking is to analyze that error and makes a report of it and displays to the team to rectify the error occurred and keeps the track of it. Example like XYZ company is working in game app development and while the engineer is working on it with different codes he/she got the error report by the help of bug application, then he/she take a mitigate action to rectify it and this application helps the team to record the complete report that when and which day this error or bug occurred. Bug tracking in the simple way you can say an application to keep the record of all the bugs or defect in a report each bug report represents hours, days of work. Bug tracking is very important part of software development. The database is the major component in of bug tracking that keeps the record of known bug facts. Facts include like who has reported the bug at what time, its severity, who is working on its fixing. In some company, bug tracking system is used to check the productivity hours of the developer who is working on it to fix it. The main benefit of bug tracking is a system checks the development of bugs is going or not as per the request. Bug tracking system is often used as the integrated product management system fixing the bug in many product development process version automatic creates the product knowledge base and release notes. Some of the test management tools come with their own inbuilt bug tracking software. Bug Tracking Guidelines Each defect report represents hours’ might be even days of a task. It's vital company information, which should be well protected & well organized. Database of the recorded bug report should be back up daily. 1. Make a build of software daily: Bug tracking works better when some part of the software is daily build. This helps the developer to work on the most recent version of the software which helps the developer from not getting the same bug report that they have already fixed it. 2. Use build number: Its used to specify the bug error in which build it occurs or in which build its fixed. It helps to avoid the confusing indifferent build. By using the build number it will be helpful notes for the developer to fix the bugs. 3. Uses a process to handle the bug report: there should be a systematic process that who has opened the report that the person is only liable to re-check whether the bug it is rectified or not then closed the report.


4. Don’t triage bug report in a meeting: Because it will affect most man working hours that can be used to fix the bug either. 5. Handle feature requests separately: bug tracking can record features and specification a bug so its better keep separately so that they can be triaged. 6. Record how bugs are Detected: Bug tracking it helps to record how bug occurred that helps the developer in making changes or in fixing the bug. It helps in Interactive Testing, Test Script Execution, Script Design.
