Bug tracking involves recording, organizing, and monitoring software issues found during development or after release. Tools such as Jira, GitHub Issues, and Bugzilla help teams capture details like severity, steps to reproduce, environment, and assigned developer. Effective bug tracking ensures that defects are fixed in order of priority, improves software reliability, and enables smoother collaboration across engineering, QA, and product teams.
