SayPro Documents Required from Employee: Bug and Issue Logs: Detailed logs of mobile-related bugs and the steps taken to resolve them from SayPro Monthly January SCMR-17 SayPro Monthly Mobile Friendly: Ensure the marketplace is accessible and functional on mobile devices by SayPro Online Marketplace Office under SayPro Marketing Royalty SCMR

Introduction:

The Bug and Issue Logs are crucial for tracking and documenting mobile-related technical issues within the SayPro Online Marketplace. These logs ensure that all bugs or technical issues are systematically recorded, monitored, and resolved in a timely manner, improving the overall mobile user experience. By documenting the nature of these issues, their severity, and the steps taken to resolve them, the Bug and Issue Logs provide valuable insights for ongoing improvements and performance monitoring.

The Bug and Issue Logs serve as a reference tool for the development team, product managers, and the quality assurance team to identify recurring issues, track resolutions, and measure the effectiveness of fixes, ultimately ensuring that the mobile platform remains functional, efficient, and user-friendly.

Objectives of Bug and Issue Logs:

The primary objectives of maintaining Bug and Issue Logs are:

1. Track Mobile-Related Issues:
   To document and monitor all mobile-specific bugs or technical issues reported by users or identified through testing, ensuring that all problems are addressed effectively.
2. Ensure Timely Resolutions:
   To record the steps taken to resolve each issue, ensuring accountability and that issues are resolved within an acceptable timeframe (e.g., 48 hours for critical issues).
3. Prioritize Fixes:
   To assess the severity of each bug or issue, helping teams prioritize which bugs need to be fixed first based on impact (e.g., critical issues that block the checkout process vs. minor cosmetic issues).
4. Provide Insights for Future Prevention:
   To identify patterns or recurring bugs, which can inform the development of long-term solutions to prevent similar issues from arising in the future.

Required Components of Bug and Issue Logs:

Employees tasked with maintaining the Bug and Issue Logs must ensure the logs contain the following critical components:

1. Issue Identification:
   • Issue Title:
     Provide a clear, concise title summarizing the nature of the issue. For example, “Mobile Checkout Button Not Responding” or “Page Load Delay on iPhone 11.”
   • Issue Description:
     Provide a detailed description of the issue. This includes what the issue is, how it affects users, and what specific functionality is impacted (e.g., “Users are unable to complete the purchase process due to an unresponsive checkout button on Android devices”).
   • Issue Category:
     Classify the issue into appropriate categories such as UI/UX, performance, functionality, payment gateway, etc., to help organize and prioritize issues.
   • Date and Time Reported:
     Include the exact date and time when the bug was first reported or identified. This helps track the time frame of issue resolution and monitor trends over time.
   Outcome:
   This section ensures that each issue is clearly identified, making it easier to track and resolve.
2. Issue Severity and Impact:
   • Severity Level:
     Assign a severity level to each issue to help prioritize resolution efforts. Common severity levels include:
     • Critical: Issues that prevent users from completing key actions (e.g., checkout or payments).
     • High: Issues that disrupt the user experience but have a workaround or do not entirely block key actions.
     • Medium: Issues that cause inconvenience but do not directly affect core functions.
     • Low: Minor bugs or cosmetic issues that do not significantly affect the functionality or user experience.
   • User Impact:
     Assess the number of users impacted and the frequency of the issue. Is it a widespread problem affecting many users, or is it isolated to specific devices, browsers, or users?
   Outcome:
   This section helps assess how urgent the resolution is, ensuring that critical issues are resolved first.
3. Reproduction Steps:
   • Steps to Reproduce:
     Include a detailed set of instructions that outline how to reproduce the issue on a mobile device. For example:
     • Open the SayPro Marketplace app on an iPhone 12.
     • Navigate to the “Checkout” page.
     • Tap the “Proceed to Payment” button, which does not respond.
   • Screenshots or Screen Recordings:
     If possible, include visual evidence such as screenshots or screen recordings that show the issue in action. This helps developers and the QA team understand the issue better.
   • Device and OS Information:
     Note the mobile device model and the operating system (e.g., iPhone 13 with iOS 15.4 or Samsung Galaxy S21 with Android 12) to identify whether the issue is device-specific or platform-wide.
   Outcome:
   This section allows the development team to quickly reproduce and understand the problem in detail, leading to a faster resolution.
4. Resolution Steps and Status:
   • Steps to Resolve:
     Document the steps taken to fix the issue. This includes any changes made to the code, design, or configuration, as well as whether the issue was related to mobile device compatibility, UI design, server-side performance, etc.
   • Assigned Team Member:
     Include the name of the developer or team responsible for resolving the issue. This helps track accountability and progress.
   • Status:
     Update the status of the issue (e.g., Open, In Progress, Resolved, Pending Review). It’s also important to include the date when the issue was resolved or closed.
   • Fix Verification:
     After the issue is resolved, confirm that the fix works by performing the same steps to reproduce the issue on mobile devices. Note the test results and if the fix successfully addressed the problem.
   Outcome:
   This section ensures that each issue is actively worked on and resolved in an organized manner, with clear accountability and follow-up.
5. Post-Resolution Feedback and Monitoring:
   • Testing After Fix:
     Document the results of any testing or QA processes carried out to ensure the fix was effective and did not introduce new issues.
   • Post-Fix Monitoring:
     Include information about any monitoring of the mobile platform post-fix, especially for critical issues. This helps identify whether the issue resurfaces after updates or code changes.
   • User Feedback After Resolution:
     If the issue was reported by users, document whether any users have confirmed the issue has been resolved after the fix was implemented. Feedback may be gathered via support tickets, surveys, or user testing.
   Outcome:
   This section ensures that fixes are verified and monitored to ensure long-term effectiveness.
6. Recurring or Unresolved Issues:
   • Pattern Identification:
     Track if there are recurring bugs or similar issues across different devices, operating systems, or features. Identifying patterns can help address root causes and prevent future problems.
   • Unresolved Issues:
     If an issue is not resolved within the expected timeframe, document the reason for the delay and outline the steps being taken to address it.
   Outcome:
   This section helps identify underlying issues or recurring technical debt that may need further investigation or a more permanent solution.

Timeline and Submission Process:

• Frequency:
  • Weekly Bug Reports: Employees should submit weekly bug and issue logs by 5:00 PM on Fridays, summarizing the issues identified during the week and the progress made on resolving them.
• Format:
  • The logs should be maintained in a structured format (e.g., Excel spreadsheet, Google Sheet, or Jira). Ensure the document is easy to navigate with separate columns for the issue title, description, severity, status, steps to resolve, and other relevant details.
• Distribution:
  • The Bug and Issue Logs should be shared with the Development Team, Quality Assurance (QA) Team, and Product Managers for review and action.

Expected Outcomes of Bug and Issue Logs:

1. Improved Mobile Performance:
   By tracking and resolving bugs, the logs will contribute to a smoother, more stable mobile platform with fewer disruptions for users.
2. Faster Issue Resolution:
   The structured log format ensures that bugs are prioritized and resolved quickly, reducing downtime and minimizing negative user experiences.
3. Informed Mobile Optimizations:
   Repeated bugs or issues can inform future mobile optimizations, helping to streamline the development process and prevent recurring technical challenges.
4. Better User Satisfaction:
   Resolving bugs and addressing mobile-related issues promptly will lead to a better user experience, increasing customer satisfaction and engagement with the marketplace.
