??“ related activities and observations that may help to isolate and correct the cause of the bug,
for example describe any test-case executions that might have a bearing on this particular bug
and any variations from the published test procedure
??“ effect: indicate what effect this bug will have on the user, the user??™s business, test plans, testdesign
specifications, test-procedure specifications, or test-case specifications, such that the
severity of the bug is evident
