I need help with some work phrases
Hi All,
I work as a tester and often write an description of a bug.
Please, check my frequent sentences.
1) We have a test case #4179 (I write about this test case firstly but I set a number - which article should I use?)
2) Steps to reproduce: .steps.. OR THE steps to reproduce: steps
3) I described some situation and ask some developer:
Is it correct behavior? (maybe THE behavior? or A behavior?)

1.) "We're testing case #-" would work.
2.) "Steps to reproduce:" would be fine! When you're writing a list of steps, think of "Steps to reproduce" as a title for the list. It's OK not to have a complete sentence for a title. If you want a complete sentence, "Here are the steps to reproduce the bug:" works.
3.) "Is this the correct behavior?" would be the most correct.

Hi -
Bug reports are very specific formats and writing them is a little different than writing an essay. So for your questions 1 & 2, I would not put them in sentences. I would instead do something like this:
------------
#4179 - <Quick Summary of the Test Case>
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
------------------
That quick summary would be an explanation of what the test case tests. (for example "Test the Print Button")
But if you are writing a paragraph, then yes, I would say "We have test case #1234" or "We are testing case #4832"
3. Try "Is this the expected behavior?" or "Is this acceptable behavior?"

Hello, firstly before looking at your message you should correct that greeting. The correct form would be to say hi everyone or fellow italki users. As for your sentences:
I suggest to use these:
1-We'll now test product #...
2-If you are showing in person the test case, saying steps to reproduce or here are the steps to reproduce would be fine. If not, try to engage by saying the following steps are the one to reproduce.
3- Is it the correct behaviour?,or Is is the right way to handle things?

I used to do this, and I didn't like it at all. It's like having to write something for a 5 year-old. It's not enough to write "click on button A." I was required to write "click on button A on the right corner next to button B." I was not allowed to assume that a functional adult could find the only button labeled A on the screen. On the other hand, it was fun to work on computers.
