* For how many bugs have been fixed in a week create a new filter using this query:issuetype = "Bug" AND resolved \>= "-1w" then create a new dashboard with the either Filter result gadget or even a Pie chart if you want to see it visually

* Here you need to define which week is this, this includes a date range, if it's from last week until today for example, the query would look like something like this:issueType = "bug" and statusCategory = "In Progress" AND updated \>= startOfWeek("-1w") and updated \<= now()

To make it more easier for you, you can use the AI assistant from Atlassian when you want to write JQL queries. After that, you need to apply it to the dashboard with their respective gadgets.

One easy way to see how many bugs are in progress in a week is to use a Cumulative Flow Diagram chart by issue type. Jira has a **Cumulative Flow Diagram report** which you could try, but unfortunately it does not have an option to configure it with a specific filter or JQL or to select the issue type.

My advice is to search for an app on Atlassian Marketplace that provides such chart or report.

If you intend to use an app, our [Great Gadgets](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?query=stonikbyte%20great%20gadgets%20agile) app offers a **Cumulative Flow Diagram gadget** that can display the bug count on a weekly basis.

To determine how many bugs were fixed every week, you could use the **Created vs Resolved gadget** of Jira configured with a filter that returns only resolved bugs and to group data weekly.

If you want something more flexible and advanced, you could use the Kanban Velocity gadget offered by the same [Great Gadgets](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?query=stonikbyte%20great%20gadgets%20agile) app that my team develops.

[@Usman Malik](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5588394) if you are open to working with a 3rd party it's super easy to visualize bug metrics using the point and click builder available in minware.

Here are a few examples you might be interested in:

The bottom two metrics in this screenshot should be exactly what you are asking for and the charts are interactive so you can drill down or filter by clicking the data points and they are super easy to customize with minQL. Let me know if you want to check out a free trial!
