When to do Bug Report with Claap

Creating detailed bug reports can be a pain. Bugs are often hard to explain and it requires to write long messages to precisely explain the issue.

With Claap, your team can rely on video and screen recording to precisely explain what is going on and troubleshoot the problem with the tech team. Bug reports are also easily centralized and accessible to everyone so you avoid having multiple people reporting the same bug.

How to report a bug with Claap

‍

Step 1. Explain your issue

‍

Launch your recording using the Chrome extension. We recommend to name the claap after the issue you have. For bug reports, we prefer to use screen-only recording.

While recording your screen, use comments to highlight the issue.

Step 2. Point out glitches & bugs while recording

‍

‍

With Claap, you can easily annotate any zone of the screen while recording.

Click on the “Add comment” button then select a zone of a screen and leave your comment.

In the example here, there is a problem with the commenter’s avatar that doesn’t appear well.

Step 3. Share recording

‍

There are 3 ways to share your issue:

• In Claap: centralize all issues in a specific topic “Bug Report”
• In Slack: connect your “Bug Report” topic to a dedicated Slack Channel
• In your ticketing system

‍

Create a “Bug Report” topic in Claap

‍

You can easily centralize all your bugs in Claap in a dedicated “Bug Report” topic.

We recommend using labels to keep track on their status.

For eg, we indicate when a bug has already been added to our ticketing system.
