Issues in SquashTM
What is an Issue?
An issue is a malfunction detected in a system or product. It is a behavior of the application that is often observed during a test execution, and that does not conform with the behavior described in the functional specifications or the User Story.
An issue is one of the main indicators used to evaluate the quality of a product or system. Solving issues results in a valid system that meets the specifications and the needs of the client or user.
In every IT team, issues are tracked thanks to a tool so that they can be fixed with developments.
SquashTM and its Bugtrackers
SquashTM does not have any management space dedicated to issues. But you can interface it perfectly with multiple issue management tools thanks to its different plugins. Thus, you can manage these issues in a tool dedicated to this task while they are still associated with test executions in SquashTM.
You can interface SquashTM with the following bugtracking tools:
| Bugtracker | Plugin needed |
|---|---|
| Mantis | Mantis REST Bugtracker |
| Azure DevOps | Azure DevOps Bugtracker |
| GitLab | GitLab Bugtracker |
| Jira Data Center | Jira Bugtracker Data Center |
| Jira Cloud | Jira Bugtracker Cloud |
| Redmine | Redmine Bugtracker |
| Tuleap | Tuleap Bugtracker |
To be able to report, associate issues from executions and view issues from SquashTM, you must:
- have the plugin corresponding to the bugtracker installed in SquashTM;
- have the server corresponding to the bugtracker declared in SquashTM by an administrator;
- have the server and the bugtracker's project configured in the SquashTM project by an administrator or project leader.
