Bug Tracker

Keep track of identified software issues or glitches.

About This Template

Bugs and issues are a natural part of building software - but without a clear process to track them, they can quickly derail a project. This Bug Tracker template helps you capture, prioritize, and resolve bugs in a structured way. It gives your team a consistent system to log issues, assign responsibility, and verify fixes.

Instead of relying on scattered messages or ad-hoc notes, this template centralizes everything in one place: bug details, reproduction steps, environment info, and resolution notes. It ensures every issue is documented and nothing slips through the cracks.

Use it daily to manage active issues, or as a log to review progress during sprint retros and project check-ins. It brings visibility and accountability to your debugging process.

Why Use This Template?

Untracked bugs slow down development and frustrate teams. This template provides a repeatable system that:

  • Standardizes how bugs are reported and documented
  • Makes reproduction steps clear for developers
  • Adds visibility into severity, priority, and deadlines
  • Assigns clear ownership for resolution
  • Keeps a record of testing, verification, and follow-up

It helps teams resolve bugs faster and ensures accountability across the entire workflow.

What’s Inside

Here’s a breakdown of what the template includes:

  • Bug Details: Capture ID, date, reporter, severity, and status.
  • Bug Description: Record the summary, reproduction steps, expected vs. actual behavior.
  • Environment: Document OS, device/browser, and any relevant details.
  • Bug Handling: Assign ownership, set priority, deadlines, and track updates.
  • Resolution: Log root cause, solution, testing steps, and verification.
  • Follow-Up: Confirm testing, add closure notes, and record next steps if needed.

Each section is designed to make bug reporting clear, actionable, and traceable from start to finish.

Who It's For

This template is ideal for:

  • Developers debugging issues across platforms
  • QA testers managing bug reports during sprints
  • Product managers tracking issue resolution progress
  • Agencies and teams collaborating on client deliverables
  • Anyone who needs a reliable system to log, prioritize, and close bugs

Tips for Getting the Most Out of It

  • Be detailed in reproduction steps so bugs are easy to replicate and fix
  • Set severity and priority clearly to guide developer focus
  • Assign ownership quickly so issues don’t linger unaddressed
  • Verify fixes carefully before marking a bug as resolved
  • Use it as a historical log to learn from recurring issues over time
