Today I want to write a tutorial about how to write a good bugs title. When we found any bugs, the first step actually is search for duplicate bugs so we will not wasting time if someone submitted the same bug before. I would recommend everyone here create a good title with all important information about the bugs. This will save bug hunters, moderators and developers time.
Format for Good title for Bug Hunting:
- Apps/Web Site - Section - Description of Bugs
- Device/Browser - Section - Description of Bugs
Example of Good title for Bug Hunting:
- Steemit FAQ - Some Question Not Clickable
- Steemit Homepage - Error 404 when Click On Login
- Win10/IE11 - Infinite Loading When Open Steemit.com (Very Useful when Happen to specific Device/Browser)
Bad Title for Bug Hunting :
- I found few bugs
- The button is not working
- Page Not Loading
Example:
Tittles above can be improved:
- Bug Hunting - Concern on Updating Account Setting
- This tittle can improved by mention what concern in Account Setting such as "Steemit Account Setting - Unable to Update Profile URL"
- New Bug - Problem with The Edit
- This tittle can improved by mention what section the bugs located because a user can edit a post, edit a comment, edit a profile. The bug title also need to specific what is the edit problem. For example, "Steemit Post - Unable Edit Picture URL."
- 1st Time Using Steemiz.io - My Suggestion to @ najoh to Fix The Bugs and Add Some Features
- This post should separate suggestions and bugs. Bugs is Bugs, Suggestion is Suggestion. Both are totally different things.
