3. Proceed to checkout.
4. In the promo code field, enter: SAVE20&FREE.
5. Tap “Apply Code.”
6. Observe the app crashes and returns to the cart.

How do you approach identifying and documenting bugs in digital products?
I follow a systematic approach to identifying and documenting bugs to ensure clarity, reproducibility, and efficient resolution:
1. Identification & Reproduction:
· Isolate the issue and reproduce it in a consistent environment.
· Check if it occurs across different devices, browsers, or user flows.
2. Clear Documentation:
· Use a structured bug report template (title, description, steps to reproduce, expected vs. actual results, environment details, screenshots/videos).
· Include severity and priority labels to help triage.
3. Collaboration & Tracking:
· Log bugs in a tracking tool (Jira, Trello, GitHub Issues, etc.).
· Communicate with developers and designers to provide context and verify fixes.
4. Retest & Close:
· Once a fix is deployed, retest to confirm resolution and ensure no regression.
· Close the bug ticket with relevant notes.
