+<h3>Why You Should Read This</h3>
+
+<blockquote>
+ <p>Simply put, the more effectively you report a [% terms.bug %], the more
+ likely an
+ engineer will actually fix it.</p>
+
+ <p>These guidelines are a general tutorial to teach novice and
+ intermediate [% terms.bug %] reporters how to compose effective
+ [% terms.bug %] reports. Not
+ every sentence may precisely apply to your software project.</p>
+</blockquote>
+
+<h3>How to Write a Useful [% terms.Bug %] Report</h3>
+
+<blockquote>
+ <p>Useful [% terms.bug %] reports are ones that get [% terms.bugs %] fixed.
+ A useful [% terms.bug %] report normally has two qualities:</p>
+
+ <ol>
+ <li><b>Reproducible.</b> If an engineer can't see the [% terms.bug %]
+ herself to prove that it exists, she'll probably stamp your [% terms.bug %]
+ report "WORKSFORME" or "INVALID" and move on to the next [% terms.bug %].
+ Every detail you can provide helps.<br>
+ <br>
+ </li>
+
+ <li><b>Specific.</b> The quicker the engineer can isolate the
+ [% terms.bug %] to a specific area, the more likely she'll expediently
+ fix it. (If a programmer or tester has to decypher a [% terms.bug %],
+ they may spend more time cursing the submitter than solving the
+ problem.)<br>
+ <br>
+ [ <a href="#tips" name="Anchor">Tell Me More</a> ]</li>
+ </ol>
+
+ <p>Let's say the application you're testing is a web browser. You crash
+ at foo.com, and want to write up a [% terms.bug %] report:</p>
+
+ <blockquote>
+ <p><b>BAD:</b> "My browser crashed. I think I was on www.foo.com. I
+ play golf with Bill Gates, so you better fix this problem, or I'll
+ report you to him. By the way, your Back icon looks like a squashed
+ rodent. UGGGLY. And my grandmother's home page is all messed up in your
+ browser. Thx 4 UR help."</p>
+
+ <p><b>GOOD:</b> "I crashed each time I went to www.foo.com, using the
+ 2002-02-25 build on a Windows 2000 system. I also rebooted into Linux,
+ and reproduced this problem using the 2002-02-24 Linux build.</p>
+
+ <p>It again crashed each time upon drawing the Foo banner at the top of
+ the page. I broke apart the page, and discovered that the following
+ image link will crash the application reproducibly, unless you remove
+ the "border=0" attribute:</p>
+
+ <p><tt>&lt;IMG SRC="http://www.foo.com/images/topics/topicfoos.gif"
+ width="34" height="44" border="0" alt="News"&gt;</tt></p>
+ </blockquote>
+</blockquote>
+
+<h3>How to Enter your Useful [% terms.Bug %] Report
+ into [% terms.Bugzilla %]:</h3>
+
+<blockquote>
+ <p>Before you enter your [% terms.bug %], use [% terms.Bugzilla %]'s
+ <a href="query.cgi">search page</a> to determine whether the defect
+ you've discovered is a known, already-reported [% terms.bug %]. If
+ your [% terms.bug %] is the 37th duplicate of a known issue,
+ you're more likely to annoy the engineer. (Annoyed engineers fix fewer
+ [% terms.bugs %].)</p>
+
+ <p>Next, be sure to reproduce your [% terms.bug %] using a recent build.
+ Engineers tend to be most interested in problems affecting the code base
+ that they're actively working on. After all, the [% terms.bug %] you're
+ reporting may already be fixed.</p>
+
+ <p>If you've discovered a new [% terms.bug %] using a current build, report
+ it in [% terms.Bugzilla %]:</p>
+
+ <ol>
+ <li>From your [% terms.Bugzilla %] main page, choose
+ "<a href="enter_bug.cgi">Enter a new [% terms.bug %]</a>".</li>
+
+ <li>Select the product that you've found a [% terms.bug %] in.</li>
+
+ <li>Enter your e-mail address, password, and press the "Login" button.
+ (If you don't yet have a password, leave the password field empty, and
+ press the "E-mail me a password" button instead. You'll quickly receive
+ an e-mail message with your password.)</li>
+ </ol>
+
+ <p>Now, fill out the form. Here's what it all means:</p>
+
+ <p><b>Where did you find the [% terms.bug %]?</b></p>
+
+ <blockquote>
+ <p><b>Product: In which product did you find the [% terms.bug %]?</b><br>
+ You just specified this on the last page, so you can't edit it
+ here.</p>
+
+ <p><b>Version: In which product version did you find
+ the [% terms.bug %]?</b><br>
+ (If applicable)</p>
+
+ <p><b>Component: In which component does the [% terms.bug %]
+ exist?</b><br>
+ [% terms.Bugzilla %] requires that you select a component to enter
+ a [% terms.bug %]. (Not sure which to choose? Click on the Component link.
+ You'll see a description of each component, to help you make the best
+ choice.)</p>
+
+ <p><b>OS: On which Operating System (OS) did you find
+ this [% terms.bug %]?</b>
+ (e.g. Linux, Windows 2000, Mac OS 9.)<br>
+ If you know the [% terms.bug %] happens on all OSs, choose 'All'.
+ Otherwise, select the OS that you found the [% terms.bug %] on, or
+ "Other" if your OS isn't listed.</p>
+ </blockquote>
+
+ <p><b>How important is the [% terms.bug %]?</b></p>
+
+ <blockquote>
+ <p><b>Severity: How damaging is the [% terms.bug %]?</b><br>
+ This item defaults to 'normal'. If you're not sure what severity your
+ [% terms.bug %] deserves, click on the Severity link. You'll see a
+ description of each severity rating.<br>
+ </p>
+ </blockquote>
+
+ <p><b>Who will be following up on the [% terms.bug %]?</b></p>
+
+ <blockquote>
+ <p><b>Assigned To: Which engineer should be responsible for fixing
+ this [% terms.bug %]?</b><br>
+ [% terms.Bugzilla %] will automatically assign the [% terms.bug %] to a
+ default engineer upon submitting a [% terms.bug %] report. If you'd prefer
+ to directly assign the [% terms.bug %] to someone else, enter their e-mail
+ address into this field. (To see the list of default engineers for each
+ component, click on the Component link.)</p>
+
+ <p><b>Cc: Who else should receive e-mail updates on changes to this
+ [% terms.bug %]?</b><br>
+ List the full e-mail addresses of other individuals who should receive
+ an e-mail update upon every change to the [% terms.bug %] report. You can
+ enter as many e-mail addresses as you'd like, separated by spaces or
+ commas, as long as those people have [% terms.Bugzilla %] accounts.</p>
+ </blockquote>
+
+ <p><b>What else can you tell the engineer about the [% terms.bug %]?</b></p>
+
+ <blockquote>
+ <p><b>Summary:</b> <b>How would you describe the [% terms.bug %], in
+ approximately 60 or fewer characters?</b><br>
+ A good summary should <b>quickly and uniquely identify a [% terms.bug %]
+ report</b>. Otherwise, an engineer cannot meaningfully identify your
+ [% terms.bug %] by its summary, and will often fail to pay attention to
+ your [% terms.bug %] report when skimming through a 10
+ page [% terms.bug %] list.<br>
+ <br>
+ A useful summary might be "<tt>PCMCIA install fails on Tosh Tecra
+ 780DVD w/ 3c589C</tt>". "<tt>Software fails</tt>" or "<tt>install
+ problem</tt>" would be examples of a bad summary.<br>
+ <br>
+ [ <a href="#summary">Tell Me More</a> ]<br>
+ <br>
+ <b>Description:</b><br>
+ Please provide a detailed problem report in this field. Your
+ [% terms.bug %]'s recipients will most likely expect the following
+ information:</p>
+
+ <blockquote>
+ <p><b>Overview Description:</b> More detailed expansion of
+ summary.</p>
+
+ <blockquote>
+<pre>
+Drag-selecting any page crashes Mac builds in NSGetFactory
+</pre>
+ </blockquote>
+
+ <p><b>Steps to Reproduce:</b> Minimized, easy-to-follow steps that
+ will trigger the [% terms.bug %]. Include any special setup steps.</p>
+
+ <blockquote>
+<pre>
+1) View any web page. (I used the default sample page,
+resource:/res/samples/test0.html)
+
+2) Drag-select the page. (Specifically, while holding down
+the mouse button, drag the mouse pointer downwards from any
+point in the browser's content region to the bottom of the
+browser's content region.)
+</pre>
+ </blockquote>
+
+ <p><b>Actual Results:</b> What the application did after performing
+ the above steps.</p>
+
+ <blockquote>
+<pre>
+The application crashed. Stack crawl appended below from MacsBug.

+
+ <p><b>Expected Results:</b> What the application should have done,

+
+ <blockquote>
+<pre>
+The window should scroll downwards. Scrolled content should be selected.
+(Or, at least, the application should not crash.)
+</pre>

+ that you first encountered the [% terms.bug %] in.</p>
+
+ <blockquote>

+<h3>More Information on Writing Good [% terms.Bugs %]</h3>
+
+<blockquote>
+ <p><b><a name="tips"></a> 1. General Tips for a Useful [% terms.Bug %]
+ Report</b></p>
+
+ <blockquote>
+ <p><b>Use an explicit structure, so your [% terms.bug %] reports are easy
+ to skim.</b> [% terms.Bug %] report users often need immediate access to
+ specific sections of your [% terms.bug %]. If your [% terms.Bugzilla %]
+ installation supports the [% terms.Bugzilla %] Helper, use it.</p>
+
+ <p><b>Avoid cuteness if it costs clarity.</b> Nobody will be laughing
+ at your funny [% terms.bug %] title at 3:00 AM when they can't remember how
+ to find your [% terms.bug %].</p>
+
+ <p><b>One [% terms.bug %] per report.</b> Completely different people
+ typically fix, verify, and prioritize different [% terms.bugs %]. If you
+ mix a handful of [% terms.bugs %] into a single report, the right people
+ probably won't discover your [% terms.bugs %] in a timely fashion, or at
+ all. Certain [% terms.bugs %] are also more important than others. It's
+ impossible to prioritize a [% terms.bug %] report when
+ it contains four different issues, all of differing importance.</p>
+
+ <p><b>No [% terms.bug %] is too trivial to report.</b> Unless you're
+ reading the source code, you can't see actual software [% terms.bugs %],
+ like a dangling pointer -- you'll see their visible manifestations, such
+ as the segfault when the application finally crashes. Severe software
+ problems can manifest themselves in superficially trivial ways. File them
+ anyway.<br>
+ </p>
+ </blockquote>
+
+ <p><b><a name="summary"></a>2. How and Why to Write Good [% terms.Bug %]
+ Summaries</b></p>
+
+ <blockquote>
+ <p><b>You want to make a good first impression on the [% terms.bug %]
+ recipient.</b> Just like a New York Times headline guides readers
+ towards a relevant article from dozens of choices, will
+ your [% terms.bug %] summary suggest that your [% terms.bug %] report is
+ worth reading from dozens or hundreds of choices?</p>
+
+ <p>Conversely, a vague [% terms.bug %] summary like <tt>install
+ problem</tt> forces anyone reviewing installation [% terms.bugs %] to waste
+ time opening up your [% terms.bug %] to determine whether it matters.</p>
+
+ <p><b>Your [% terms.bug %] will often be searched by its summary.</b> Just
+ as you'd find web pages with Google by searching by keywords through
+ intuition, so will other people locate your [% terms.bugs %].
+ Descriptive [% terms.bug %] summaries are
+ naturally keyword-rich, and easier to find.</p>
+
+ <p>For example, you'll find a [% terms.bug %] titled "<tt>Dragging icons
+ from List View to gnome-terminal doesn't paste path</tt>" if you search on
+ "List", "terminal", or "path". Those search keywords wouldn't have
+ found a [% terms.bug %] titled "<tt>Dragging icons doesn't paste</tt>".</p>
+
+ <p>Ask yourself, "Would someone understand my [% terms.bug %] from just
+ this summary?" If so, you've written a fine summary.</p>
+
+ <p><b>Don't write titles like these:</b></p>
+
+ <ol>
+ <li>"Can't install" - Why can't you install? What happens when you
+ try to install?</li>
+
+ <li>"Severe Performance Problems" - ...and they occur when you do
+ what?</li>
+
+ <li>"back button does not work" - Ever? At all?</li>
+ </ol>
+
+ <p><b>Good [% terms.bug %] titles:</b></p>
+
+ <ol>
+ <li>"1.0 upgrade installation fails if Mozilla M18 package present" -
+ Explains problem and the context.</li>
+
+ <li>"RPM 4 installer crashes if launched on Red Hat 6.2 (RPM 3)
+ system" - Explains what happens, and the context.</li>
+ </ol>

+<p>[% terms.Bugzilla %] has a "voting" feature. Each product allows users to
+have a certain number of votes. (Some products may not allow any, which means
+you can't vote on things in that product at all.) With your vote, you indicate
+which [% terms.bugs %] you think are the most important to be fixed.</p>
+
+<p>Depending on how the administrator has configured the relevant product,
+you may be able to vote for the same [% terms.bug %] more than one time. But
+remember, you only have so many votes to use in total! So, you can either vote
+a little for many [% terms.bugs %], or vote a lot for a few [% terms.bugs %].
+</p>
+
+<p>To look at votes:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>Go to the query page. Do a normal query, but enter 1 in the "At least
+ ___ votes" field. This will show you items that match your query that
+ have at least one vote.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>To vote for a [% terms.bug %]:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>Bring up the [% terms.bug %] in question.</li>
+
+ <li>Click on the "Vote for this [% terms.bug %]" link that appears just
+ above the "Additional Comments" field. (If no such link appears, then voting
+ may not be allowed in this [% terms.bug %]'s product.)</li>
+
+ <li>Indicate how many votes you want to give this [% terms.bug %]. This page
+ also displays how many votes you've given to other [% terms.bugs %], so you
+ may rebalance your votes as necessary.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>You will automatically get email notifying you of any changes that occur
+on [% terms.bugs %] you vote for.</p>
+
+<p>You may review your votes at any time by clicking on the "<a href=
+"votes.cgi?action=show_user">My Votes</a>" link in the page footer.</p>
