What is a Bug Approval?

Bug Approval is when we ask you to re-test Bugs that other Birds found, but on your own device. This way, we know if the Bug happens on only specific devices (e.g. happens on iPhones but not on Samsungs) or on all devices. A Bug Approval is not always part of the test. If it is, we will write it in the test description.It’s important to remember that Bug Approval happens after the Review Phase has ended (see What do the different testing phases mean?). So only after every tester has finished their report and Bugs, and everything has been reviewed by us, can you start the Bug Approval process. In this process, you will see every Bug submitted by other testers and will look for it on your device. Then, you need to answer whether the Bug appears on your device as well or not. You have three choices: Yes, No and Yes, but differently. In any case, you will ALWAYS have to add a screenshot, unless the (lack of a) Bug cannot be shown with an image. You only have to add an explanation text, if the Bug appears in a different way.If you are invited to a test requiring Bug Approval, you will find more information about the process in the test description.
