What makes a good bug report?
A good bug report lets someone else reproduce the problem without asking: a specific title, numbered steps, the expected and the actual result, the environment (build, browser, device, account), data used, and evidence such as a screenshot or log. Severity describes the impact on the system (a crash, data loss); priority describes how soon the business wants it fixed — the two are set separately and often differ.

How to use AI Bug Description Generator
- Paste your notes about the bug — what you did, what you saw, what you expected.
- Optionally add the environment (browser, OS, app version, URL) and choose the report format: Markdown for GitHub, GitLab or Azure DevOps, or Jira wiki markup.
- Pick the output language and press Generate.
- Answer the missing-information questions, attach the evidence on the checklist, then paste the formatted report into your tracker (or download it or the JSON).

1. …Frequently asked questions about AI Bug Description Generator
What if I do not know the browser or version?
Leave it out. The report keeps the field minimal and lists the missing details as questions instead of inventing them.
How is the severity decided?
By impact, checked from the top so that the first level that fits applies: Blocker when a core flow cannot be completed and there is no workaround; Critical for data loss or corruption, a security problem, a failed payment or a major function broken for most users; Major when an important function is broken but a workaround exists or few users are affected; Minor for a small functional, cosmetic or edge-case problem; and Trivial for a typo or a negligible cosmetic detail. The AI Bug Severity Suggestion tool applies the same rubric.
Can I get the report in Jira format?
Yes. Choose Jira wiki markup and the formatted report uses h2. headings, # numbered lists and *bold*; choose Markdown for GitHub, GitLab or Azure DevOps.
Technical notes
The report has a title, a summary, the environment, preconditions, numbered steps to reproduce from a known state, expected and actual results, a severity (Blocker to Trivial), a P0–P3 priority, the frequency and any workaround, plus an attachments checklist and questions for anything your notes did not say. The whole report is also rendered in the format you chose.
