The bug is an error occurred in the software development or defect occurred this bug comes while making the software if the coder makes some coding mistake then bug or defect comes in the software.First of all, we should know about the bug tracking. It is an application that helps to keep a record of all the bugs and defect reports in the software development. In other words, you can say keeping the records of all the errors for future reference in the project management cycle is called bug tracking. Web bug tracking is keeping the errors records online so that anyone from project management team can see that error from anywhere 24*7/ 365 days anytime. this web bug tracking is helpful when the employee is working from home or from the different city he/she can keep the records of all the bugs and can coordinate with the team working from anywhere in rectifying the bug or defect. Example like XYZ company is working in gaming software and there are 5 members in the team who is working for the same game app 3 of them is working in the office and two of them is working from home so how the employee will coordinate while working on bugs for that web bug tracking is used. By the help of the web bug tracking, an employee can coordinate with each other online and can resolve the error and make a record of it for the future reference. By the help of web based tracking it helps the employee to work flexibly and can keep the record of it online so that there will be no miss communication between the employee working from home or from the office. A large number of bugs are called buggy.
Web bug tracking consists of the following information:
 |
| WEB BUG TRACKING |
Bug ID: Every error or defect should have a unique id number so that it can be tracked easily without miss communication .
Bug Description: you should mention the complete description of the error that what the error is all about how it appears.
Product version: Mention the version of the software in which the bug appears.so that it will be easier for the developer to rectify that.
Detail steps: Complete information about the bug that how it appears what is the root cause of it. So that developer can focus on that issue more.
Date raised: you should mention the date when that error occurred.
Reported by: Name of the employee who reported bug.
Status: That means whether that’s a new defect, older or its open or closed like that status should be mention correctly.
Fixed by: Name of the developer who fixed the issue and how.
Date closed:Date when the issue is resolved and report is closed
Severity: As per the severity developer can find the impact of a bug in the software.
Priority: By the priority set we can place orders for fixing it.
A Major disadvantage for bug tracking, if it is not web based
If bug tracking is not web based then it requires to download and installed the software on every computer in which you want to run this software. This will take more space on the computer and affect the speed of the computer and if it is properly not installed it will not work properly. Every time updating is required for the software so that meet up the current version requirement.
But in a web tracking system do not require download and it is easy to access from anywhere, from any computer this can be used by multiple users at the same time without having the trouble of downloading and hassle free and as it is web based it is updated automatically.
