Bug Tracking is a constant endeavor that pays off over time. It has a positive influence on customer satisfaction and conversion rates, a topic I explored in an earlier blog post.
Today, I want to share a few tips and best practices on using the Usersnap bug tracker with you. I know it is our own product, but this article will hopefully still be helpful for you—whether you are already using Usersnap or want to try it out.
Either way – thanks for reading!
How can you use the Usersnap Bug Tracker?
I just want to give you a piece of essential information up front in case you are stumbling upon this blog post and this is your first contact with Usersnap.
Usersnap is a bug tracker that lets you annotate screenshots directly in your browser. It is super easy to collaborate with colleagues and to communicate with clients. But I am already getting ahead of myself. 😉
One last thing, though, before we get started: You can try Usersnap for free at any time for 15 days.
Now let’s get started!
Bug Tracking
It is difficult, if not impossible, to create an environment that is 100% bug-free. Therefore, bug tracking should be deeply integrated into your workflow.
After your successful setup of the Usersnap Bug Tracker, you can annotate screenshots in your browser with simple point & click tools. Usersnap also lets you organize bug reports in a project dashboard.
Active, continuous bug tracking should, therefore, be an integral part of your web project to ensure customer satisfaction.
Communicating with web developers
The Usersnap Bug Tracker is ideal for communicating with your web developers. It is super easy to add new team members to your projects.
If you work on a new website or a digital product, you can easily share feedback with your colleagues. Add a comment or choose a pen and a color to annotate your screenshots. This short GIF demonstrates how it works.
QA & Testing
If you are a QA agent, you are looking for an easy way to report and document bugs when testing a new product.
With Usersnap, you can use the browser extension or website widgets or upload screens to the project dashboard. Every bug report includes additional information such as screen size, browser version, and operating system.
If you are managing a QA team, your agents will love the easy setup.
Limit misinterpretation. With screenshots.
If you work on a web project and are collecting feedback regarding design, illustration, and resolution, verbal communication might not be the best. It is very easy to misinterpret design feedback if you are not getting visual screenshots with annotations. Usersnap fixes that problem and allows to share screens and just point and visualize issues. That makes collaborating easier and more fun. You can also check this list of great website annotation tools and use the one that you find comfortable.
Organize your Web projects
Organize your projects with the Usersnap bug tracking dashboard. Collaborate with your colleagues and manage tasks and projects. Get an overview of what tasks need attention and close screens once they are done. You can also assign tasks to your team members.
Label Manager for prioritization
With the label manager, you can organize your projects even more efficiently. Use the dashboard search to filter for labels such as “bug,” “idea,” or “feedback.” Create new labels or use our label suggestions to organize your tasks.
Personal Lists and tasks
If you want to organize your dashboard individually, you can create personal lists. These could be some lists in which you collect…
- all screens with the label “bug”
- all screens with the label “feature”
- all screens that are attributed to you personally
- all screens which are attributed to a team member
How you can organize your personal lists can be seen in this short video.
Integrate your project management system with Usersnap
Especially if you are part of a bigger team, you are probably a whole bunch of different software solutions.
You can now integrate Usersnap with the tools you already use. Thanks to our partnerships and our API, you can connect Usersnap with the project management system of your choice. We have integrations for Asana, Basecamp, Trello, and many more. Check out our full list of integrations here.
Customer Service with Usersnap
Active bug tracking, where you locate bugs yourself, is very important for a great customer experience.
However, it is also essential to allow your customers to report bugs. One screenshot is all it takes to see the problem and get the information you need. Information on browser version, operating system, and screen size are automatically attached to every screenshot. With our browser notifications and our chat integrations, you never miss a bug report or design feedback from your users.
