Kanban cards are an easy and dynamic way to visualize your bug workflow. In Kanban view, bugs are arranged on Kanban boards with each board representing either Status (the default and custom status created for the bug), Severity (the severity of the bug), Module (the module the bug belongs to), Classification (the type of bug), or Reproducible (whether the bug is reproducible or not) such as To be tested, In progress, Complete and so on so that every team member knows what’s required to be done at any time.
