QA Bug Report Generator
A vague bug gets bounced back; a clear one gets fixed. Fill in the title, severity, steps, expected vs actual, and environment, and this tool assembles a clean report for Markdown, Jira, or plain text, plus a check for what triagers actually need. Free, client-side, no account.
Write a clean, reproducible bug report.
Fill the fields and get a formatted report for Markdown, Jira, or plain text, plus a check for the things that get bugs triaged and fixed fast. Nothing is uploaded.
What every bug report needs
A specific title
Component, action, and impact in one line. "Checkout: expired coupon charges full price" beats "payment bug" every time.
Severity and priority
Severity is impact; priority is urgency. They are not the same, and conflating them is a classic interview trap.
Numbered repro steps
The single biggest factor in a bug getting fixed. Exact, ordered steps a developer can follow without guessing.
Expected vs actual
The gap between them is the defect. Without both, you have a complaint, not a bug report.
Environment
Browser, OS, device, build. "Works on my machine" usually means the environment was never captured.
Evidence and notes
Reproduction rate, logs, suspected cause, screenshots to attach. Anything that shortens the developer's investigation.
Questions before you file
How do you write a good bug report?
A good bug report has a specific title (component, action, impact), a severity and priority, numbered steps to reproduce, a clear expected vs actual result, and the environment (browser, OS, device, build). The contrast between expected and actual is what makes it a verifiable defect.
What is the difference between severity and priority?
Severity describes the impact on the system (Blocker to Trivial). Priority describes how urgently it should be fixed (P1 to P4). A homepage typo can be low severity but high priority; a crash on a rare screen can be high severity but lower priority.
Is this bug report generator free?
Yes. It runs entirely in your browser, no account, no payment, no upload. Export to Markdown, Jira wiki markup, or plain text and paste straight into your tracker.
Does it work with Jira, GitHub, and Linear?
Yes. Markdown pastes cleanly into GitHub and Linear, the Jira format uses Jira wiki markup, and plain text works anywhere. Switch formats with one click after generating.
Is my bug report uploaded anywhere?
No. The assembly and quality checks run inside your browser, with no server roundtrip and no storage. Open DevTools, then the Network tab, to verify: generating a report makes no requests.
