How to raise a Defect during Testing

Step-by-step guide to raising defects during testing

Updated over a week ago

Vansah supports both manual and AI-assisted defect creation during Test Execution. Both methods create a linked Jira work item directly from your Test Run.

Steps to raise a defect manually

  1. In your Test Run, expand the relevant Test Case.

  2. Click the cog icon next to the failed Test Step.

  3. Enter the Actual Result and add any relevant attachments.

  4. Update the Step Result status.

  5. Click the plus (+) icon next to Linked Work Items to create a new Jira work item.
    • To create the work item in a different Jira Space, click the Space icon and select the target Space

  6. Set the Work Item Type to Bug.

  7. Enter a Summary and Description.

  8. Click Create. The defect appears under Linked Work Items for that Test Step.

Tip: To link an existing defect instead, use the search field in Linked Work Items to find and attach it.


Steps to create a defect with Vansah Intelligence (AI)

  1. During your Test Run, click the bug icon on the Test Case.

  2. Select Create with AI.

  3. Vansah Intelligence analyses the Test Case, requirement, Test Steps, and Actual Results.

  4. Review the generated defect details.

  5. Click Confirm to create the defect in Jira.

Benefits of AI defect creation:

  • Faster — reduces manual data entry

  • Consistent — standardised defect format

  • Accurate — minimises human error

Note: AI defect creation requires Vansah Intelligence to be enabled.
