What is Visual Bug Tracking?

Visual bug tracking simply means, you can track bugs you can see on your computer screen. BugShot is the tool which makes it easy to highlight, track and remove bugs you can see on screen when developing websites .

Developing websites is always project work. An interdisciplinary Team is put together which within a certain time frame and budget develops, designs and launches a website. Design, programming, project management and marketing are the core disciplines of the people in the team. In most cases the teams are in different locations – at the client’s office, at an agency or working from home. Team members communicate via phone, email, chats, video conferences or messaging and all of this takes up a lot of time and energy. Misunderstandings, mistakes and repetitions can occur very easily.

Even with the best quality management in place, mistakes sneak in during the programming and development phase. It is the nature of work. The bugs have to be identified and removed, so the website looks great and runs smoothly. But there are also other sources of mistakes: spelling, graphics, colour or layout.

BugShot enables you to mark all the visible bugs on the website you are working on. The Marker you place, shows the exact location of the bug.  Bugshot automatically registers and transfers a screenshot, a description, all the browser and operating system data as well as attachments and a priority request. The bug is therefore clearly identified and localized.

The bugs are organised on a Kanban Board to which every team member has access. Each bug is allocated to a team member to resolve the problem. As soon as the bug is removed, it will be shifted to "Done" and everyone on the team receives a status update.

This is collaboration made easy: Testers mark and report the bugs on the website. All the bugs are automatically organized on a Kanban Board, they are accessible to each team member and get resolved. Tedious and long winded communication disappears, the team saves energy and time and therefore also money. Working in a team becomes easier and better. The quality of the work and the website improves strongly.
