Bug bash session tool for video recordings

New to bug bashes? Start with what a bug bash is. This page is the video and triage layer for after everyone has recordings: one place to mark bugs, triage, and export — not a substitute for charters or a moderator.

What makes a good bug bash session tool?

A strong session tool supports uploaded recordings, multiple bugs per video, collaborative comments, status tracking, shareable review links, and export to Jira or PDF. Spreadsheets and Slack threads fail when the evidence is a 40-minute file and nobody can find minute 23.

EveryBug is built for that leftover problem: timestamps, frame drawings, and a Jira export from the same session. Run the bug bash process first; use a session tool when findings would otherwise live in twelve disconnected recordings.

Workflow after the hunt

Before the bash: create a project and folders per feature area so uploads have a home. During the bash: record if that is how your testers work (screen capture or meeting recording). After the bash: upload videos, mark bugs on timelines, triage as a group, and export to your backlog.

Step-by-step with EveryBug

  1. 1. Set up a project for the bash Create a dedicated project with folders for each feature, platform, or tester group. Share project access with participants.
  2. 2. Upload session recordings Each tester uploads their recording as a session. Title sessions clearly (tester name, area tested, build version).
  3. 3. Mark and annotate bugs Reviewers scrub through video, mark time ranges, draw on frames, and write descriptions. Stay on the bug list view for fast entry during high-volume bashes.
  4. 4. Triage and deduplicate Use status filters and comments to validate bugs, merge duplicates in discussion, and mark Valid vs Pending Validation.
  5. 5. Export engineering-ready reports Export Jira CSV for the backlog, PDF for stakeholders, and share session links for anyone who missed the live review.
