The most common reason my bug reports got bounced wasn't a bad bug — it was a bad report. "Checkout is broken", no environment, three vague repro steps. Developers closed them as "cannot reproduce", and honestly, fair.
After looking at enough of these, I built a one-page template that forces the good habits: exact trigger, environment with versions, expected vs actual, and an attachment checklist. It also shows a before/after of the same bug so the difference is concrete.

I also sell a full QA workbook (test plans, UAT, traceability) on Etsy if you outgrow the one-pager — link in profile. But the sheet above is complete on its own.
