By now, all of you must know what a bug is. A bug is a word used in slang which means any error caused in the system and its various aspects like Requirements, Coding, Design, Specifications. The scale of this error can be anything from a basic typo to a serious coding issue.

Bug tracking is one of the fundamental processes in a software development life cycle. Without it, the whole process becomes more time-taking and inefficient.

There are various advantages of it like it helps to save money, to maintain good quality, etc. In this article, we will discuss the various benefits of Bug tracking. Having a correct bug tracking tool at hand helps in many ways. Below are some of them.

The primary purpose of a bug tracking system is to detect bugs and assuring to remove them. A tracking system helps in developing a fine product by controlling the work of all team members in detecting and fixing every single bug. This reduces the probability of losing out on any minor or major bug as there is a checking system in place.

In a bug tracking system, the bugs get prioritized and the issues are assigned. This way, the development team can focus on important issues and prioritize the correction process of the bugs. This results in a decrease in development time, efforts, and consequently the budget of development. The Return on Investment and Productivity gets improved by this.

As we know, A bug tracking system is a system with various features like email notifications, chat interfaces, etc. This promotes easy communication between the team members and helps in increasing good connectivity in the system. Due to this decreased communication gap, a smooth workflow comes in place. Also, due to a centralized data system, real-time data can be accessed. This helps in exploring the software, attempting newer bugs, and drafting concise and fine reports.

The whole system of Bug tracking subsequently results in proper documentation of the bugs and errors that occurred in the system through time. This documentation helps in keeping track of all the defects and hence the team can analyze the defects to come to a conclusive study on how should the process be improved to reduce the errors.

The detection of bugs takes place in the formal testing stage. This results in the creation of bug-free data in the production stage.

This system also involves end-user reporting issues and bugs directly on their respective applications. Through smaller product modifications, regular issues can be analyzed and solved. Many tools regarding this system are designed in the most user-friendly way. Any newbie in the field with a basic technical can use these tools.

An automated response is provided to the users. Alerts are designed to give them constant updates and the respective status of development.

Consequently, this results in better customer service and good communication with customers as it allows them to give suggestions and feedback’s.

These are some of the benefits of having a proper bug tracking system. Bug tracking system helps in executing the actions of a Software Development Life Cycle more efficiently. This efficiency then results in a cost-friendly budget plan which provides the company with a more profitable business.

It helps in understanding the work environment in a better way and hence improving the fineness of individuals working in the developmental and testing stages of the process.
