The "Communication Trap" refers to the phenomenon where developers and QA professionals hear "it doesn't work on my machine" repeatedly, indicating that there is a lack of consistency in bug reporting. This can lead to wasted time and resources as bugs are reported with insufficient information, causing back-and-forth between the reporter and the engineer trying to reproduce the issue. To avoid this, having a uniform language/template for bug reports can help reduce uncertainty and speed up resolution. A good template should include key details such as summary/title, environment, build, devices, priority, steps to reproduce, expected result vs. actual result, requirements, and wireframes, which helps ensure clarity and promotes consistency across the team, regardless of who enters the ticket.
