Priority or severity
Steps followed to create/recreate issue
Include error descriptions/messages, if appropriate
Provide screen prints as needed
Calculate and report basic testing metrics to help provide a feel for the status of your testing efforts, health of the software being tested, and effectiveness of your testing efforts. At minimum, include:
Total Defects (overall measure of software quality)
Test case testing ratio (indication of testing status) è Test cases tested / total test cases
Failure Rate è # failures per unit of time (usually # failures per hour)
Defect Density (measure of software quality) è total # defects / # test cases completed
Critical Bug Detection Rate (measures testing effectiveness; testing resources should be focused on finding the highest risk defects) è# high priority bugs / # total bugs * 100%
