Your Software Testing Course:
How to Write a Bug

Here is a software testing course that is focused solely on how to write a perfect bug every time. There is no “maybe”, or “you could try this…”, or “sometimes you can trick ‘em”. This course will teach you how to write bugs that gain you respect every time.

Just finding a bug isn’t enough. If you can’t clearly communicate it to the rest of the development team, then it’s not a bug, it’s a mystery.

No matter how good you are at the science of testing, or the art of testing, you must be able to define, quantify, and communicate your bugs. If you cannot, then instead of building a reputation that people trust, you will be creating more work. You want to be the one people trust, not the one they fear will make their job harder.

There are so many traps that testers fall into when they are writing bugs; not enough information, the wrong information, multiple bugs written as a single issue, entering issues that are a result of preexisting issue (non-bugs), etc. That doesn’t even take into account the frequency of bugs that are such a confusing morass of data that, even if they are valid, no one can tell. Any one of these errors calls into question the basic software testing competency of the writer – whether that’s fair or not.

When you can write bugs that are unquestioned, you are on the right track. When you write a bug that can be immediately recognized as valid and containing all the pertinent information, you will be building the right reputation for yourself.

When you right bugs that are easy to read and understand, are valid issues that need to be fixed, and clearly state the impact on the user, then you are showing quality work. You build trust with your coworkers with every bug you write. They can depend on the information you give them.

Contrast that with the average QA tester in today’s software testing world. The average tester writes bugs that more often than not, require further research on someone’s part. It may be that they are the ones tasked with the chore. But it is also very common for someone else to have to do the work – and you don’t make friends by creating more busy work for your colleagues.

If you really want to be taken seriously as a software tester, you must be able to write bugs that are not questioned; bugs that build trust and confidence, in you and your team. If you want to be able to craft the career of your dreams in the software quality assurance industry, you need to know how to write bulletproof bugs!

In this course 5 Keys to a Bulletproof Bug, I give you the information you need to understand how to write professional bugs every time. I explain the critical areas of a bug, give you the precise actions to take, and make sure you understand the importance of each.

Once you complete this software testing course, you will be able to write bugs that any software, IT, or IS professional will understand and respect. By learning the information in this software testing course you will give yourself the opportunity to master the key non-testing skill that every QA tester needs – and most overlook.

Writing bulletproof bugs is something that most testers do not or cannot do. Once you can, you will stand out from the crowd. You will shine brighter than the rest. You will be the one who is trusted!

The details matter in quality assurance testing, so learn to write perfect bugs every time! Work like a professional and be treated like one.

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
