bug tracking

Issue management system

Bug tracking is the process of logging, monitoring, and managing software defects through their lifecycle—from discovery to resolution.

Development teams use bug tracking systems to document issues, assign responsibility, and prioritize fixes: The QA team added twelve new items to bug tracking this sprint.

The practice ensures problems don't get lost and progress stays visible.
