SMART means Specific, Measurable, Accountable, Reproducible, Testcased

All Items should be SMART.

1. Specific - be clear enough that anyone can take a stab at solving the problem
2. Measurable - have a clear statement of what is required to be able to close them ("this must work" or "it must be at least this fast")
3. Accountable - have individual names associated with the report and with the fixing process
4. Reproducible - the report must be reproducible by someone in the dev team
5. Testcased - a fixed bug should always have a test case added to the test suite for it. If the reporter can provide this testcase, so much the better!
