Step-by-step guide

6 steps

  1. 1

    Define your bug report fields

    Good bug reports need: title, description of the issue, steps to reproduce, expected behavior, actual behavior, environment (browser, device, OS), severity, and screenshot attachment.

  2. 2

    Describe the portal to Appaca

    Tell Appaca: "Build a bug reporting portal with a user-facing form and an internal view. The form captures: title, description, steps to reproduce, environment, severity (low/medium/high/critical). The internal view shows all open bugs with filters for severity, assignee, and status."

  3. 3

    Set up your triage workflow

    Create the status flow: Reported → Triaged → Assigned → In Progress → Fixed → Verified → Closed. Add an assignee field to route bugs to the responsible developer.

  4. 4

    Share the reporting link with users

    Share the reporting form link in your product, documentation, or customer support channels. Users submit reports directly and they appear in your bug tracker immediately.

  5. 5

    Triage incoming reports daily

    Review new bug reports each morning. Assign severity, link to a developer, and set a target sprint. Bugs without triage pile up and get lost.

  6. 6

    Close the feedback loop

    When a bug is fixed, update the status and optionally notify the reporter. Closing the loop builds user trust and encourages more reporting.

Frequently asked questions

Is this different from a standard bug tracker?

This is a public-facing bug reporting portal combined with an internal tracker. Users submit reports via a form and your team manages them internally - the two views are connected.

Can I integrate with GitHub Issues or Jira?

You can add a GitHub or Jira link field to each bug to reference the external ticket where the fix is being tracked.
