Report a bug.

As i mention earlier Testopia is a Test case management system. While running a test run we check the product met the requirements. If it is yes, the test case will pass. Else fails. So we have to track it in the next version. Because of the we report a bug in Bugzilla. Testopia was designed to bind those bugs with the particular test case. 
When reporting a bug through the testopia it automatically generates Product name, Component and Version. Other than that we have to set the platform, OS, bug status, title and description. Among those things title and the description are the most important things. 
Title - Should be a single line. But need to describe the bug very briefly.
Description - Should consist of three major parts with optional part. 

  1. Steps to reproduce. - It should be clear for any developer. Not only for the implementor.
  2. Actual outcome - Clearly mention what you see/get.
  3. Expected outcome - If the bug reporting for a test case clearly mention the requirement. 
  4. Position of the requirement in the SRS. (Optional) - SRS name, Version and the requirement number or  page number with line number.
