The Bugs by Priority report in Office Excel shows the distribution of active Bugs, grouped by priority. For information about how to access this report, see Excel reports.

Data in the report

You can use the Bugs by Priority report to understand the distribution of active Bugs by priority. As the following illustration shows, this report is based on a PivotChart report that shows the last four weeks of the data captured for Bugs. This data is stored in the data warehouse.

Bugs by priority chart

You can review the Bugs by Priority report to determine the overall distribution of Bugs by priority. Specifically, you can find answers to the following questions:

  • How many priority 1, 2, and 3 Bugs are active?

  • Is the team resolving priority 1 Bugs before resolving priority 2 and 3 Bugs?

Required activities for tracking bugs

For the Bugs by Priority report to be useful and accurate, the team must perform the following activities:

  • Define Bugs, and specify their Iteration and Area paths.

    Note

    For information about how to define area and iteration paths, see Define area paths or Define iteration paths .

  • Specify the Priority of each Bug.

  • Update the State of each Bug as the team fixes, verifies, and closes it.
