How to use this template

  1. Capture a useful report

    Reports lose reproduction details, intermittent bugs stall and fixes close without a check against what the reporter saw.

  2. Decide what happens when the evidence runs out

    Map a bug from report to verified fix, with rules for missing evidence, severity, priority, ownership and verification.

  3. Map severity and ownership

    Keep observations and guesses apart in the report. Give an unreproduced bug its own branch and a review date. Verify the fix by repeating the original report under the same conditions.
