A bug tracker is a software application used to track and manage defects or bugs found in software development. It serves as a central repository for all reported issues, allowing development teams to efficiently prioritize, assign, and resolve them. Bug trackers typically record details such as the bug's description, steps to reproduce, severity, priority, status, and the developer assigned to fix it.

The primary purpose of a bug tracker is to improve software quality by ensuring that bugs are not overlooked and are addressed in a systematic manner. By providing a clear overview of outstanding issues, teams can better allocate resources and monitor progress. Bug trackers facilitate collaboration among team members, enabling them to communicate about specific bugs, share updates, and provide feedback.

Common features of bug trackers include the ability to create new bug reports, edit existing ones, search for specific bugs, and generate reports on bug trends and resolution times. Many bug tracking systems integrate with other development tools, such as version control systems and project management software, to streamline the workflow. Examples of popular bug tracking software include Jira, Bugzilla, and Asana. The effective use of a bug tracker is a cornerstone of agile development methodologies.
