Categorization of Bugs in JIRA
<p>We use JIRA to track bugs in our application. Our software pipeline is agile base 2 weeks sprint cycle. Here is the approach that we are thinking about categorizing our bugs, to better understand their nature and magnitude.</p>

<hr>

<p>For bugs we use the following keywords in "Issue Type" field of Jira.</p>

<ul>
<li><p>Production Bug (Found in Production)</p></li>
<li><p>Backlog Bug (Came out during Sprint cycle - QA)</p></li>
</ul>

<p>Extra field in JIRA, called "Bug category", with the following keywords, to further categorize above bugs.</p>

<ol>
<li>Functional Bug (Functionality not working as it is,suppose to be ... due to missed requirement, coding flaw, or missed QA).</li>
<li>Regression Bug (Impact of new rolled out feature)</li>
<li>Data Problem (Bad migration, corruption due to bug, etc)</li>
<li>Environmental Issue (Windows Vs Linux, etc)</li>
</ol>

<p>Your thoughts will be appreciated.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>
