Our tasks as software testers might require a lot of time and effort. We have to “break” the software, find bugs as much as possible, and write down what we find in a bug report.

What if we “hire” an assistant to help us write the report?

Using ChatGPT we can write a bug report in no time.

We just need to supply the data as complete as we find. Thus it will save us much time and we can focus on our testing job.

In this section, I’ll show you, how to use chatGPT to help with QA’s task of making a bug report.

The bug condition that I input is like this:

create a bug report using this value

where: Registration page In Firefox browser version 105.6.1 64 bit When I type duplicate username, the system still accepts it Expected behavior: An error message should appear and the user can’t create a new account

The result is like this

Another prompt that I use:

create a bug report in cucumber format where: Registration page In Firefox browser version 105.6.1 64 bit When I type duplicate username, the system still accepts it Expected behavior: An error message should appear and a user can’t create a new account

The result is like this

Yes, ChatGPT can help us create a bug report. But please, always keep this in mind. All information that we give may contain confidential information about our organization. And ChatGPT is hosted outside our organization. So, while it can help us to cut our time to make a bug report, it is still not recommended to do that.
