Bug Report Prompt Generator
Suggests a question to check your bug report actually answers — exact steps, environment, expected versus actual — so someone else can reproduce it without asking follow-up questions.
What you'll get
This generator draws from a hand-checked list of 12 entries. Here is a spread of 6 of them, so you can see the style before you generate:
- Write the exact steps to reproduce, numbered, starting from a clean state.
- Note whether the bug happens every time, or only sometimes.
- Attach or describe the exact error message, not a paraphrase of it.
- Describe the smallest input that still triggers the bug.
- Note whether a workaround currently exists.
- Check whether the bug already has an existing report before filing a new one.
A fixed sample of the list, not a live draw — your own results are picked at random from all 12, without repeating until the list runs out. Original authoring for Generate Random — general bug-report quality prompts.. Last reviewed 2026-07-18.
How to use this tool
- Press generate for a prompt.
- Check your report against it, or generate again.
Common use cases
- Improving bug-report quality
- QA reporting checklist
- Triage-ready ticket writing
Practical tips
- Always include what you expected as well as what happened; a report with only the second half needs a conversation before it can be worked on.
- Give the exact steps rather than a summary of them — a bug nobody can reproduce is a bug nobody can fix.
Entries are chosen with your browser's cryptographic random number generator, so every entry on the list is equally likely. How Generate Random works.
