Overview

Great software needs to work well. But with every new feature, functionality tweak, design update, and push to prod, you run the risk of bugs appearing. For every “drop everything” bug fix needed, there are a dozen “mostly just inconvenient” bugs.

Track, prioritize, and squash with this bug tracker template.

Why our bug tracker template?

Airtable is what’s called a relational database, which allows you to filter, sort, and group data in intuitive and flexible ways, letting you rethink how you track and process bugs.

Filter by priority to see the most critical issues first, or by status to see where progress is being made. Or, try filtering by the systems affected by your known bugs to prepare for potential customer complaints and provide stellar customer support.

You can also create an automation that will generate—and send—a daily, weekly, or monthly report showing all blocked, critical, and untriaged bugs. Or, deploy a lightweight automation that sends Slack notifications to responsible developers, letting them know when it’s time to prioritize work from the backlog.

Why our template vs. others and spreadsheets?

Being cloud based and eminently flexible, Airtable is useful for software development teams both large and small. If your team relies on an agile development process or want to build a custom workflow to better align with the intricacies of their product, there’s nothing like Airtable.

Plus, each team member can be assigned specific tasks (or bugs) and filter out all the other information—making their workflow more straightforward and un-noisy. Airtable is a perfect solution for anyone looking for a project management tool packed with integrations, automations, and views—like an interactive timeline or kanban board.

Plus, everyone can see always keep-in-the-know with real-time status changes.

What is bug tracking?

Bug tracking is part issue tracking, part project management. It’s the process wherein teams record, monitor, and update the status of known bugs in a piece of software or website. While it precedes the actual action of dedicating resources to squashing the bug, it’s every bit as important. With good bug tracking etiquette—or just a good bug tracking template—teams understand what to prioritize and when.

Who is this bug tracker template for?

This bug tracking system is ideal for QA analysts, test engineers, or any fast-moving team that needs a collaborative issue tracker to keep them on task.

Use this bug tracker with your team members to easily delegate bug fixing and bug tracking projects. This bug tracking system also comes equipped with a form for easy submission of bug reports.

Tips to get started with our bug tracker template

  • Easily turn user feedback into bug reports through an Airtable form, available any time and easy to fill out, regardless of how complex your product is.
  • From there, teams can easily triage bugs or assign them to other relevant teams or team members so they can take action fast.
  • Create a dashboard to see how many bugs you’re tracking and how your progress is holding against your goals. Easily report progress to your leadership team.
