Introduction\n<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            A\nbug is an error in a product\u2019s code which stops the working of developed\nsoftware, therefore, making it vital to detect a bug before the final product\nis made available for customers. Software development teams always associate\nbug tracking with testing and most techniques of software creation have special\nsteps of test conduction such as the Traditional waterfall methodology. There\nexist methodologies with flexible testing and tracking approaches like the\nagile methods that encourage constant tracking during project realization. The\nbugs are usually tracked with the aid of a special software thereby making\ndeveloping easier. Bug tracking systems are the applications that aid in\ndetecting bugs, reporting on them, and creating lists of bugs for fixing. This\npaper, therefore, discusses the JIRA Software tool with regards to its bug\ntracking process for my proposed project, to facilitate the knowing the voting\nstatus of all people process using android devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Description\nof Software<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

JIRA\nsoftware is an effective tool for bug tracking. The JIRA Software tool is\ncreated by Australian Company Atlassian. The JIRA program was developed in 2003\nto track and manage bugs in software development. Over time, it has expanded to\ncover more aspects and has expanded to help teams design and track all phases\nof the software development cycle.  JIRA\nis an effective tool used in bug tracking and agile project management.\nAccording to Fisher, Koning & Ludwigsen (2013), the JIRA Software was\ndeveloped to be the connective tissue from the software development team. This\nphase covers significant aspects such as backlog grooming and release\nmanagement. The fundamental use of this tool is to track bugs and issues\nconnected to mobile apps and software (Fisher, Koning & Ludwigsen, 2013).\nThe JIRA dashboard comprises of a lot of useful functions and features including\nJIRA scheme, JIRA issues, and issues types, JIRA components, Issues attributes,\nissues security schemes, it also allows developers to create issues in JIRA and\nReports in JIRA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nusers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nJIRA software will allow managers, more so those responsible for voting\nprocesses to have better delivery estimates of the voting status depending on\nreal-time circumstances and the workforce. This solution will give a guided\niteration planning tool that will enable the users to prioritize on project\ntasks as well as break them down into manageable chunks. The JIRA Software will\nallow the team members to know exactly what happens at given times during\nvoting processes thereby making the creation and responding to tasks easy. This\ntracker will aid in the management of our project\u2019s mobile phone app thus\nfacilitating its realization and efficiency in voting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bugs\nvs. Features Requests<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A\nbug refers to a coding defect which produces an unexpected or incorrect result\nor behavior. On the other hand, features requests refer to aspects that the\nuser believes should be included in the software but they have not actually\nrequested in the initial technical and brief specification. Developers can use\nthe JIRA bug tracking model is the conventional way to initiate a team project\nusing JIRA. It may be utilized to handle a list of bugs, feedbacks, and tasks.\nThe bug tracking template is easy to set up. Nonetheless, it is most suited to\nsmall teams, if the bug reports increase, then the developers should switch to\nAgility board of JIRA (Li, 2013). Some examples of Bug include freezing\/\ncrashes, interface bugs incorrect or erroneous execution of algorithms and\nmemory leaks. Examples of feature request include interface changes and\nrequesting different suggestions to the results the algorithm is giving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bug\nTracking System<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nfirst step in tracking bugs using JIRA is to select a system suited to your\nneeds. There are three templates, they include bug tracking prototype, JIRA\nKanban, and JIRA Agility board. Bug tracking prototype from JIRA that is used\nto manage a list of bugs, feedback, and tasks. Another tracking system is JIRA\nKanban which is an assortment of tasks that are arranged in columns which\noffers an easy synopsis of team undertakings and offers an open bug report or\nopen feedback (Li, 2013). The final feature is the Agility board. The Agility\ntemplate is simple and can offer feedback to project in a simple way because it\nis easy to rearrange issues and columns. After choosing a JIRA, the development\nteam can choose to use two options to create a new issue, they include on your\nsite\/in-app or inside JIRA. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bug-Related\nInformation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\norder to track bugs in JIRA, it is important to first develop feedback within\nJIRA. The clear way to gather bug report and collect feedback is via the JIRA.\nA developer can do this by ensuring they are on the appropriate JIRA project\nthen use the \u201ccreate an issue\u201d link in the project. When gathering feedback\nfrom users, testers or colleagues, it is important to request the following\ninformation, ticket priority, screen resolution, operating system, operating\nsystem page URL (\u201cHow to collect feedback & track bugs with the new JIRA\nExperience! \u2013 Usersnap\u201d, 2013). The second step is to collect the bug report\nand feedback on your app\/site. In some instances, detecting bugs will be\ncomplex or time-consuming, so it is important to look for various ways to\ncollect the bug report.  The team can\nutilize the annotated screenshot to help them breakdown the feedback it gets\nand then automatically add data such as screen resolution and browser vision\nthat help system developers to recreate the bugs much faster. The other step is\nto use custom workflows for feedback and bug reports (\u201cHow to collect feedback\n& track bugs with the new JIRA Experience! \u2013 Usersnap\u201d, 2013). This is\nessential because it allows the user to direct the right response to the\ncorrect teams i.e. funnel bug report to system developers. After this, it is\nimportant to analyze the feedback reports using simple widgets such as Usersnap\nwhich offer a variety of reporting possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bugs\ncan be tagged with labels that relate them to a specific release, feature area\nof a given epic. The software developer should prioritize it as a story in the\nbacklog and label it as \u201cneeds design\u201d for placing the teams’ design in line to\nbe reviewed for the results that came up; \nAfterwards, the designer will then add mockups and remove the label. The\nprogrammer will then establish the desired behaviors, establishing rules for\nthe story then jotting any exceptional queries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion\n<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nnecessary steps and processes required for the implementation of this project\nhave been explained in details. Bug tracking is the final stage of projects\nrealization but in some instances, testing and bug detection may cause trouble\nconsidering it is hectic to fix a problem when the final product is almost\nready. It is therefore expected that this project will run smoothly and that\nthe expected objectives will be achieved. This will enable the project team to\neventually identify, fix, and log the bugs when undertaking various tasks.
