bug report

Software flaw notification

A bug report is a document describing a problem in software—what went wrong, how to reproduce it, and what was expected instead.

Developers use bug reports to track and fix issues: I filed a bug report about the login crash.

Good bug reports include specific steps, error messages, and system details.

In open-source projects, users often submit bug reports through issue trackers.
