Issues in Squash

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.

Squash 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 Squash.

You can interface Squash with the following bugtracking tools:

To be able to report, associate issues from executions and view issues from Squash, you must:

• have the plugin corresponding to the bugtracker installed in Squash;
• have the server corresponding to the bugtracker declared in Squash by an administrator;
• have the server and the bugtracker's project configured in the Squash project by an administrator or project leader.
