5.10Key Takeaways
- A bug report must enable reproduction in under two minutes
- Include all five fields: environment, steps, expected, actual, severity/priority
- The title should describe the bug, not the feature: "[What happens] when [condition]"
- Attach evidence: annotated screenshots, HAR files, console logs, curl commands
- Isolate before filing: narrow down browser, environment, data, and permissions
- Respond quickly to developer questions — a stale bug report gets deprioritized
