Creating a Bug

When a defect is detected, the first thing to do is record it in the defect management system by creating a bug.

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. On the Defects tab, click Bug.

  2. Enter the bug information.

    When creating a bug, fill in the mandatory fields such as Title, Owner, and Severity. The Description field is especially important. Describe the bug symptoms, expected fixing effect, and possible error messages in detail, so that the bug can be analyzed and located accurately in subsequent phases.

  3. Click Submit. The bug goes to the analyzing phase.

More Operations

If you find another bug of the same type or with similar information when creating a bug, you can click Duplicate to auto fill the bug information.

In addition, you can select a new responsible project for the duplicated bug. This means you can copy the bugs of the current project to other projects to reduce the workload of creating bugs. Please note that a duplicated bug is a completely independent data object and cannot be traced back in the current project. If you want to create an identical bug that can be traced through the current bug, you are advised to use the function described in Collaborating on a Bug.
