Bug Reports

Key Features of Bug Reporting Module

In Reqtest, you can manage a bug report throughout its entire lifecycle, from the moment it is reported to when the issue is resolved. The backlog gives you a continuous overview of new bug reports, helping you prioritize, plan, and make sure the right tests are carried out before a fix is released.

Why using the Bug Report Module

One of Reqtest’s strengths is having all your core features in one place. By using requirements, tests, and bug reports within Reqtest, you have a simple way to track progress and collaborate across the project.

You can easily integrate Reqtest with other tools, for example if your supplier or IT department uses Jira or Azure. When all bug reports are registered in Reqtest, you always have full control over quality. You can also forward reports to the right people instead of managing them manually through emails or meetings. Learn more about integrations.

With bug reports in Reqtest, you can analyze system quality and identify risk areas where quality may not meet expectations.

Getting started

Before you begin using the bug report module, it is important to configure the bug report fields. You do this under Customize Form. Before configuring, it is a good idea to have a clear plan for how you want to manage bug reports. A well-defined structure from the start makes it easier to adapt Reqtest to your needs.

Below, you can read more about the steps you need to take to get started with bug reports.

How Bug Reports Work

The bug report module consists of a list of reported issues. You have access to the same functionality as in other modules when it comes to selecting and filtering the data you want to work with.

Views and Managing the List
