Bug Tracking Training That Actually Prepares You

We built this program because most bug tracking courses skip the messy parts. You'll work with real project scenarios, learn how senior developers document issues, and understand why proper tracking saves teams weeks of confusion.

Our Approach

We Teach Bug Tracking the Way Teams Actually Use It

Most training focuses on clicking buttons in software. That's maybe 20% of the job. We spend time on reading stack traces, deciding severity levels when managers disagree, and writing descriptions that help developers fix issues faster.

1

Real Project Simulations

You'll track bugs in a simulated project with actual deadlines, conflicting priorities, and incomplete information—just like real work environments.

2

Developer Communication Skills

Learn how to write bug reports that developers don't ignore. We cover technical language, reproduction steps, and when to escalate issues without annoying your team.

3

Multiple Platform Experience

You'll use Jira, GitHub Issues, and Linear—not because we want to overwhelm you, but because companies use different tools and the principles transfer.

Learn From People Who've Actually Done This Work

Our instructors spent years tracking bugs in production environments before teaching. They've dealt with critical outages at 2am and know which details actually matter when everything's on fire.

What Students Gain From This Program

12

Weeks of Practice

Three months working through progressively complex scenarios. You'll start with basic bug entry and end handling security vulnerabilities that need careful documentation.

40+

Real Scenarios

Each exercise based on actual bugs from production systems. You'll see patterns that textbooks don't cover—like how to document intermittent issues or track problems that only happen for certain users.

6

Platform Tools

Hands-on time with industry-standard tracking systems. By program end, you'll know which tool works best for different team sizes and why companies choose what they do.

This program prepares you for entry-level positions in QA and bug tracking roles. While we can't promise specific job outcomes, graduates have found work at software companies, agencies, and in-house development teams. Results depend on your effort, local job market, and previous experience.
