Reporting Defects with the Add Defect Dialog Box

When you are connected to Quality Center, you can report defects detected in your application directly from the WinRunner Test Results window.

To report a defect with the Add Defect dialog box:

• Open the Test Results window and display the test for which you want to add a defect. For more information, see Viewing Checkpoint Results.

• If applicable, select the line in the Test Results that corresponds to the bug you want to report.

• Click the Add Defect button or choose Tools > Add Defect. If the Test Results window is not yet connected to Quality Center, the Quality Center Connection dialog box opens. Connect to Quality Center as described in Connecting to Quality Center from the Test Results Window. When you are finished, click Close to close the Quality Center Connection dialog box and open the Add Defect Dialog box.

The Add Defect dialog box opens. Information about the selected line in the Test Results is included in the description.

• Type a short description of the defect in Summary.

• Enter information as appropriate in the rest of the defect text boxes. Note that you must enter information in all the text boxes with red labels.

• Type a more in-depth description of the defect in the Description box.

If you want to clear the data in the Add Defect dialog box, click the Clear button.

• You can add an attachment to your defect report:

• Click the Attach File button to attach a file to the defect.

• Click the Attach URL button to attach a Web page to the defect.

• Click the Attach Screen Capture button to capture an image and attach it to the defect.

• Click the Find Similar Defects button to compare your defect to the existing defects in the Quality Center project. This lets you know if similar defect records already exist, and helps you to avoid duplicating them. If similar defects are found, they are displayed in the Similar Defects dialog box.

• Click the Submit button to add the defect to the database. Quality Center assigns the new defect a Defect ID.

• Click Close.

For more information on using the Add Defect dialog box, refer to the Mercury Quality Center User's Guide.
