US081 As a developer, I want to update the status of bugs I am working on, including adding comments and time estimates, so that project stakeholders are informed of current progress

Description:

As a developer, I want to update the status of assigned bugs, including adding comments and estimated resolution time, so that project stakeholders are always informed of ongoing progress and expected delivery.

Linked Requirements & Use Cases:

Current Definition of Done

  • Developers can change issue status (e.g., in progress, waiting for review, done)
  • Developers can add time estimates and log time spent
  • Comments can be added at any stage (including status rationale or blockers)
  • Status updates trigger notifications to relevant parties (optional)
  • All updates are timestamped and traceable
  • Documentation explains how to perform and standardize status updates

Acceptance Criterias

  • Developer can update bug status via issue tracker (e.g., Jira, GitLab, etc.)
  • Developer can enter a time estimate (in hours/days) for completion
  • Comments can be added to document progress, decisions, or blockers
  • Stakeholders can view status changes in a dashboard or report
  • System logs status history with author, date, and change description
  • Time estimates and actual effort can be compared in reports
  • Updated bugs appear automatically in relevant filters or views (e.g., in progress, ready for QA)
