Test Case operations

Each Test Case has dedicated operations:

• Create Defect
• Link with Requirement
• Link with Defect

Create Defect

The Create Defect operation allows reporting defect when the Test Case execution is failed. It links automatically created defect with Test Case. The Create Defect operation is connected with the Test Case defect link in TestFLO Settings and Defects tab in the project configuration.

There are two types of Create Defect operation:

• Create Defect (TP req) which also links the created defect with the requirements connected with Test Plan,
• Create Defect (TC req) which also links the created defect with the requirements connected with Test Case.

If there are no requirements linked to the Test Plan or Test Case, the operation creates only a link between the defect and the Test Case.

Steps

To use the Create Defect operation:

1. Click the Create Defect operation from Test information panel or select from menu More.

   

2. You will be redirected to Create Issue page. Depending on whether the selection of projects and issue types has been limited in the Defects tab, the page will be displaying:

   • if no projects and issue types were selected then the Project and Issue type field will be available to change,
   • if one project and issue type were selected then the Project and Issue Type will be automatically filled and locked,
   • if more than one project and issue type were chosen, then the selection in the Project and Issue Type will be limited to chosen pairs only.

3. Fill the neccessary information in fields and click Create.

Result

The defect has been created. Information about created defect is displaying in Test information panel in Defects section and Issue Links.
