This metric shows the percentage of issues closed during the time period that were bugs. An issue is considered a bug if it has an issue type that contains the term "bug" or "defect". Each dot on the line represents a week during that period.

These trends show the total bug rate, and the top 10 groups with the highest bug rate in this period.   

All bugs counted here are currently assigned to the selected segment.

Group Options

By default, groups are based on manager, but can be pivoted by other options such as by project, priority, or role.
