# Steps to reproduce: checklist and template

Read each line and ask whether your steps pass.

- They start somewhere a stranger can reach. Name the page, the screen or the command, and the account type if it matters.
- Each action gets its own step. Number the steps so you can refer to a step by its number.
- They use the real values: the promo code, the file name, the amount or the setting you used.
- They include the waits and the clicks that are easy to forget, such as "wait for the list to load" or "close the dialog".
- They end at the moment it goes wrong. Everything after it belongs in Actual.
- They say what you expected and what happened, including the message shown.
- They name the build and the environment: the version, the platform and how often it happens.
- You ran them once more from a clean start. If the bug does not repeat, say so and say how often it did.
- Evidence is attached and trimmed: a short log excerpt, a cropped screenshot or a brief recording, with personal data removed.

4. The step where it goes wrong

I ran these steps again: yes or no, and what happened.
