Bug Report Form
This comprehensive bug report form helps software teams collect detailed, actionable bug reports from users. It captures all critical information developers need: severity classification, step-by-step reproduction instructions, expected vs actual behavior, environment details (browser, OS, device), and visual evidence. The form's structured approach reduces back-and-forth communication and speeds up bug resolution.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a good bug report?
Good bug reports include: clear title, exact reproduction steps, expected vs actual behavior, environment info, and visual evidence. This form captures all of these in a structured format that reduces ambiguity.
How do I integrate this with my issue tracker?
Export form submissions to your issue tracker via webhooks or API integrations. Most project management tools (Jira, GitHub Issues, Linear, Asana) support incoming webhooks for automatic ticket creation.
Should I require all fields?
Make critical fields required (title, description, severity) but keep others optional. Some users can't provide reproduction steps or environment details. Getting partial reports is better than no reports.
How do I prioritize bug reports?
Use the severity and impact fields for initial triage. Critical bugs affecting many users get immediate attention. Cross-reference with user segments (free vs paid) and affected features for business impact assessment.
Can users attach screenshots?
This template includes text fields for URLs to screenshots/recordings. For direct file uploads, you'll need to configure your form backend with file storage capabilities.
