A bug report is a crucial document in software development that outlines an issue or problem encountered in a software application. It serves as a communication tool between testers, developers, and other stakeholders involved in the software development process. A well-structured bug report provides essential information to help developers understand, reproduce, and ultimately fix the reported issue efficiently.
