A good starting point would be the [mozilla bug writing guidelines].
Here are some basic principles:
- Be precise
- Be clear - explain it so others can reproduce the bug
- One bug per report
- No bug is too trivial to report - small bugs may hide big bugs
- Clearly separate fact from speculation
Preliminaries:
- Reproduce your bug using a recent build of the software, to see whether it has already been fixed.
- Search moodle bug tracker, to see whether your bug has already been reported (sometimes might be tricky).
